Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)

Sylvester Stallone:

Sylvester Stallone is well known for writing & acting in the Rocky movies. He prepared to make these films by watching boxing matches such as the Muhammad Ali & Chuck Wepner championship match. The match motivated him to write the film Rocky. He also may have gotten inspiration from the boxers Rocky Marciano and Joe Frazier. The original script had a darker tone.
