    Interviewer: How do you pronounce your name, Stallone or Stalloneh?
    Sly: Stallone
    Interviewer from then on: Stalloneh, Stalloneh, Stalloneh.
    (PS I can relate, I have an Italian last name ending in 'e' and we do the same thing, silent e, since Americans can't pronounce it properly.

      @@dusthue I believe what I was saying is the interviewer asked how to pronounce it then ignored his answer. I correct people again and again when they mispronounce my name and they keep doing it. I don't correct them if they pronounce my final 'e' the proper Italian way, 'eh', but only if they pronounce it 'ee,' or sometimes 'ay.'

      Screenplay by: Joe Eszterhas, Sylvester Stallone
      Story by: Joe Eszterhas
      Norman Jewison ran into Sylvester Stallone a day after Jewison attended a private pre-released screening of Rocky (1976). Jewison said: "After predicting that Rocky (1976) would be a big success, something that many were questioning at the time, I asked him (Stallone) if he'd like to read the script of my next picture [F.I.S.T (1978)]. He took it home and called me the next day to say that he wanted to do it. All we had was a verbal agreement. But he kept it. I have to respect him for that. I understand that he was later offered more than a million dollars to do another film instead".

    Sylvester Stalloney? It’s the first time I ever heard his name pronounced that way! Stalloney or Stallonie, that is the question? This is more confusing than William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” where it says “To Be Or Not To Be, That Is The Question?’
