Stallone was born to Frank Stallone Sr., a beautician who was an immigrant from Sicily and Jacqueline Labofish, an American astrologer. In the 1960s, Stallone attended the University of Miami for three years.

He has been married three times, to Sasha Czack (1974–1985) with whom he has two sons Sage (1976) and Seargeoh (1979); Brigitte Nielsen (1985–1987), and Jennifer Flavin (1997–present) with whom he has three daughters Sophia Rose, Sistine Rose, and Scarlet Rose (born 1996, 1998, 2002 respectively).

Stallone's first few film roles were very small. He had brief unaccredited appearances in Woody Allen's Bananas (1971) and in the psychological thriller Klute (1971). Stallone did not gain wide fame until his starring role in the smash hit Rocky (1976), awarded the Academy Award for Best Picture. Rocky was nominated for ten Academy Awards in all, including two for Stallone himself, for Best Actor and for Best Original Screenplay. In addition to winning Best Picture, Rocky won for Best Director and Best Film Editing.

Not all of the films in which he's appeared are in the English language. He made an appearance in the French film Taxi 3 where he spoke what appeared to be fluent French.

The next film Stallone will appear in is Rocky Balboa – an action, adventure, Drama, Sequel and Sport which appeared on screen on December 22nd, 2006.
