NEARLY 500 items from Sylvester Stallone’s personal archives are being sold, including costumes, props, scripts, notebooks and other memorabilia from the actor’s biggest films, including the “Rocky” and “Rambo” franchises, “Cliffhanger,” “The Expendables” and “Demolition Man,” Julien’s Auctions said Tuesday.

Highlights include Stallone’s boxing gloves from “Rocky III,” with an estimate of US$10,000-20,000, as well as handwritten notebooks about the first four “Rocky” films, priced at US$40,000-60,000.

Born in New York in 1946, Stallone found fame with 1976 Oscar-winning boxing film “Rocky,” soon becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest action movie stars.

The “Property from the Life and Career of Sylvester Stallone” sale takes place Dec. 5 at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills and will be preceded by an exhibition of the items in London starting today at the Mall Galleries.(SD-Agencies)
