Author – Rock character and storyteller Sylvester Stallone was twice nominated for an Oscar in 1977 for Best Actor and Best Screenplay. Rocky, a character since he was largely involved in American culture, a positive iconAmerican fight for lifeWhich he unevenly developed into six films before Rocky Balboa was created in 2006.
