\nSYLVESTER STALLONE<\/b>
\n* The Date: August 1995
\n* The Deal: One week after RON MEYER<\/b> leaves the Creative Artists Agency<\/b> to become president of MCA<\/b> – then the parent company of Universal Pictures<\/b> – he signs former client SYLVESTER STALLONE <\/b>to a first-look, three picture deal worth $60 million. The pact would make the international star the second confirmed member of the $20 million club (after JIM CARREY<\/b>), marking his highest potential per-picture paycheck to date, despite the recent box office disappointment of the $34.7 million grossing Judge Dredd<\/b>.
\n* The Aftermath: Not pretty. After flirting with a long list of projects, the actor completed no pictures and received no payment from the deal, which expired in February 2000.
