Sly Saved Dolly

Dolly Parton says that when she was at the lowest point in her life it was Sylvester Stallone who saved her!


In 1984, prior to filming on “Rhinestone” Dolly learned that she would never be able to have children and it devastated her. Dolly recently told an interviewer for The Globe, “It was an awful time for me… Every day I thought, ‘I wish I had the nerve to kill myself.” Then Dolly started filming “Rhinestone” with Sly. Dolly still has fond memories of the filming, “Even though the movie didn’t do that well, that was one of my greatest projects because Stallone was so full of life and so crazy and funny, and he made me laugh a lot, which was really healthy for me. That got me back on track.”

Bill Pruitt Checks In

Craig / / 2007, Fan Art
SZoner, Bill Pruitt checked in with the photo above and some words about it:

Hi Craig, Here is a photo of how my studio looked while working on my Rocky Balboa spiritual painting about a year and a half ago. You can see the pile of references I used on the left and another pile of references on the floor on right. At least 125 different photo references were used for extreme accuracy and to make it a very original image. – Bill
