Matt Singer at The Dissolve takes a look at Sly Stallone in Sylvester Stallone’s Career Tells a Story of Going the Distance.   Here are just a couple of quotes that stuck out…

… no matter how badly the odds are stacked against him, Rocky just won’t quit. For him, survival is just as good a victory as a knockout.

The same goes for Stallone.

And if THIS next quote doesn’t get you to want to read the full piece, I’m surprised you read this far.

(Sly)’s the only man alive who’s had a No. 1 box-office hit in each of five consecutive decades. It hasn’t always been easy; after his remarkable early success and a long run as one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, he bottomed out in the dregs of direct-to-video thrillers. But years after his action-hero peak, Stallone returned to his roots and sparked one of the most remarkable comebacks in movie history. When things looked their bleakest, he rallied for one more climb up the Art Museum steps. This is the story of how Sylvester Stallone went the distance.
