Six years after baring all in\u00a0<b>&#8220;A Party at Kitty and Stud&#8217;s&#8221;<\/b>\u00a0for $200,\u00a0<b>Stallone\u00a0<\/b>created what was to become the cinematic anthem of the underdog. He wrote the first draft of\u00a0<b>&#8220;Rocky&#8221;<\/b>\u00a0in three days and insisted on playing the part of the determined boxer himself despite studio pressure to cast a star.\u00a0<b>&#8220;Rocky&#8221;<\/b>\u00a0ended up earning 10\u00a0<b>Oscar<\/b>\u00a0nominations and won for\u00a0<b>Best Picture<\/b>.

Though less successful in the comedy genre [<b>&#8220;Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!&#8221;<\/b>], the father of five, who is married to model\u00a0<b>Jennifer Flavin<\/b>, is indomitable. &#8220;The eyes droop, the mouth is crooked,the teeth aren&#8217;t straight, the voice sounds like a Mafioso pallbearer,&#8221; he once said of himself. &#8220;But somehow it all works.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VH1\u00a0decided to find the top\u00a0200 Greatest Popular Culture Icons.
