Did You Know…

…that Sly attended the University of Miami in the late 60’s but dropped out just three credits short of graduation… but that in the year 2000 Sly was awarded his degree?

StalloneZone in Total Film



Simon Barber, the webmaster of Frank Stallone‘s website, gave us a heads up earlier in the week that the StalloneZone was featured in an article about “good” websites in the UK magazine Total Film. When Simon got his copy he was nice enough to send us scans of the coverage.

Thanks to Simon for his kindness. Check out Simon‘s work at Frank‘s site [and tell him we sent you!]

Also remember that Frank Stallone is hosting a showing of one of the Rocky films on ESPN Classic’s ‘Reel Classics every Sunday night in June at 9pm EST/6PM Pacific. Frank will also share the inside stories, and display his extensive collection of boxing memorabilia!

Three Sly Tidbits

Two SLY items appear in the June 11, 2002 issue of STAR. The first is in the EAVES DROPPING section:

SLY STALLONE at a celebrity gala tellng a friend: “I’m the anti-Fred MacMurray.” Sly, who has his third daughter due any day now, says: “I should have a show called ‘My Three Daughters.'”

In the same issue in the STAR PEOPLE section:

Psst… Want to know the secret to SYLVESTER STALLONE‘S knockout hair? Rocky gets his curly locks straightened at the Yuki salon in West Hollywood.

In the June 14, 2002 issue of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY‘sTIME CAPSULE section for June 11, 1993:

At the movies: SYLVESTER STALLONE clings to his fading superstardom in CLIFFHANGER, the week’s No. 2 movie.

As to the comment, “fading superstardom,” how many stars fade for 9 years? Puh-leaze!
