Sylvester Stallone, whose career has spanned nearly five decades and helped define the modern action film, is reflecting on the emotional weight behind the achievement that first made him a Hollywood star.
In a recent interview on CBS Mornings, the 79-year-old actor and filmmaker revisited the night “Rocky” won three Academy Awards at the 1977 Oscars, including Best Picture. The victory marked a breakthrough moment for Stallone, who had written the screenplay and insisted on starring in the film after years of rejection. But he said the professional triumph was paired with personal disappointment.
