The steps

Before the fame, there was a young actor with a script he believed in and very little else. Sylvester Stallone tells the story of his unlikely path to stardom and of how Rocky, the underdog story that made his name, came to be written and made.

Stallone writes from the inside about the long odds he faced, in a memoir that is by turns tough, hopeful and painful. For anyone who has ever cheered Rocky up those steps, or bet on themselves when nobody else would.
