Stallone Puts ‘Rocky,' ‘Rambo' Memorabilia Up for Auction, Dallas Company Handling
•
Actor Sylvester Stallone is parting with memorabilia from the "Rocky" and "Rambo" movies, but he's keeping the two characters alive onscreen.
The 69-year-old entertainer announced Thursday that he'll put hundreds of props and costumes from his 40-year career up for auction this fall, with some proceeds benefiting military charities.
Some of the items Stallone has agreed to sell include Rambo's Army jacket and Rocky's gloves, robe and boxing trunks.

Stallone isn't saying goodbye to the characters. Instead, he's set to become Rocky Balboa again onscreen in "Creed" this fall and is working on another "Rambo" installment.
While fans are waiting for the new films, they can bid on pieces of Rocky's and Rambo's past when Dallas-based Heritage Auctions moderates the Stallone sale on Oct. 14 and 15.
