The Life of Hollywood Action Hero Sylvester Stallone

Stallone attended the American College of Switzerland before returning to the United States and studying drama at the University of Miami. His path was still unsettled, but acting had become more than a passing interest by this point.

He did not complete his degree, choosing instead to pursue performing more directly. That decision carried real risk because he had no guarantee of success, no powerful Hollywood backing, and no easy way into the business. Soon, he would chase that dream in New York.
