Sly and the Family Stallone News for the Week…

This week we have Rocky by Jamie Cosley. This piece was gifted to me by my pal (and fellow sketch collector) LittleJohn and his wife Patricia. I think Patricia was sending LittleJohn and I a subtle message about “What the Fox Says.” Thanks to Jamie, LJ and Patricia! – Craig

Sly and the Family Stallone News for the Week…
On January 2, 2016, Deadline posted an interview: Sylvester Stallone on Rocky, Creed and the 40 Year Career In Between conducted by Mike Fleming, Jr. that is worth a read! – Craig

Roger Cormier and Mental_Floss present 16 Hard-Hitting Facts About the Rocky Movies. Here are three of my favorites…
3. ADRIAN WAS ALMOST PLAYED BY SUSAN SARANDON.
Stallone and the producers decided that she was “too sexy.” Cher was also considered. Bette Midler was offered the role but turned it down. Carrie Snodgress had in fact won the part, until her agent asked for too much money. Talia Shire auditioned at the last minute to save the day.
7. CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND ELVIS PRESLEY WERE FANS OF THE FIRST MOVIE.
Chaplin wrote to Stallone that Rocky reminded the silent film star of a character he used to play. Stallone regretted turning down Chaplin’s invitation to visit him in Switzerland after the director died a few months later. Similarly, Stallone turned down Elvis’ offer to watch Rocky with him in Memphis months before The King passed away.
16. ROCKY’S TURTLES CUFF AND LINK OUTLIVED A COUPLE OF THE CHARACTERS.
The female red-eared sliders that appeared in 2006’s Rocky Balboa are the same turtles from the original 1976 picture.
