Sylvester Stallone was born on July 6, 1946 as Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan. The oldest son of Francesco Stallone, Sr. (a hairdresser) and Jackie Stallone (astrologer, and dancer). He has a younger brother named Frank Stallone, who is an actor and musician. Because of complications during childbirth, Sylvester's lower left side was paralyzed. This gave him his famed "snarling" and slurred speech and distinctive look. Stallone spent some of his formative years in foster care because of his parents' volatile relationship. The couple later divorced. Stallone did his studies in drama at American College in Switzerland, prior to moving to the University of Miami. When he finished his education, he left school and moved to New York City in order to pursue a career in acting.
