Stallone Recalls Near-Fatal Horse Fall with Dolly Parton
26 Aug
Summary
- Stallone shared a near-death experience with Parton on a horse.
- Their four-decade friendship survived a film flop and arguments.
- Parton's wit and warmth were remembered by the actor.
Sylvester Stallone fondly remembered Dolly Parton following her passing at 80, describing her as a brilliant and warmhearted icon.
Stallone shared a dramatic anecdote about a near-fatal incident on a Tennessee horse farm. He and Parton were riding a large horse that stumbled, sending them tumbling to the ground and narrowly avoiding being crushed as the animal fell nearby.
Their enduring friendship, which began over four decades ago with the 1984 film 'Rhinestone,' also navigated professional challenges and personal conflicts. Parton once famously called Stallone an "ungrateful son of a b*tch" for his dismissive behavior towards a homeless man.
Despite the film's critical and commercial failure, Parton viewed 'Rhinestone' positively. Stallone concluded his tribute by expressing his deep loss, stating, "I miss you, Dolly. I love you. Sad."
