…And Lookin’ the Way You Do.

Bill Pruitt sent in the photo of his latest Stallone painting above and this message:

Hi Craig,

Here is a new painting I just completed. It’s my first one from “First Blood”. I am very pleased with how it turned out. This is a pivotal scene in the movie. It’s exactly the moment that sets up the whole movie. He is making the decision right there to get in the car with Teasle. After that, of course, is pure classic Sly action. The title of this piece is “Wearing that flag on your jacket and lookin’ the way you do……”

Bill – not only is it another great painting, but you did hit the EXACT moment when you can see Rambo deciding he’s not going to be pushed again. Perfect! Thanks as always for sharing your talents with us! – Craig

Sly Saved Dolly

Craig / / 1984, 2007, Celebs, Rhinestone
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.”
