This energy could have kick-started life -- and could have sustained life after it arose. Now, we have a way of testing different materials and environments that could have helped life arise not just on Earth, but possibly on Mars, Europa and other places in the solar system..
Hereâs how it really went down: The first part of the story is true: Stallone did write a script for Rocky. His agent, Larry Kubik, then showed the script to his producer buddies: Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff. Now, the Winkler-Chartoff team had a pretty cool clause in their deal with the studio UA.
In real life, Joe Spinell (who played Gazzo) actually gave Sylvester Stallone money out of his own pocket so Stallone could buy gas for his car or buy food for himself when he was a struggling actor during the early and mid 1970s much like Gazzo does with Rocky in this film.
