CBS Sunday Morning at 92NY: Sylvester Stallone in Conversation with Tracy Smith: The Steps

Overview

Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone joins CBS Sunday Morning’s Tracy Smith for a conversation about the grit and determination that planted the seeds of his legendary career in the first live program in a new CBS Sunday Morning series at 92NY — and Stallone’s new memoir, The Steps.

Few images in film history are as indelible as Sylvester Stallone running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Rocky. For generations of moviegoers, those steps have come to symbolize resilience, ambition, and the determination to keep moving forward. But long before they became a cultural landmark, Stallone was climbing his own uphill path. In his candid new memoir, The Steps, Stallone looks back on the journey behind his career. With candor and hard-earned perspective, he recounts a difficult childhood, years of being underestimated and misunderstood, and the relentless determination that carried him through rejection, financial insecurity, and countless setbacks. Framed by the years between his arrival in New York City in 1969 and Rocky’s triumphant sweep at the 1977 Academy Awards, The Steps is both a vivid portrait of an artist finding his voice and a deeply personal reflection on the resilience required to pursue an improbable dream. In an evening of conversation with CBS Sunday Morning’s Tracy Smith, Stallone discusses the stories behind the memoir, the creation of Rocky and other iconic characters like John Rambo, and stories from the set — along with the artistry and the work ethic that has sustained Stallone through his life
