A Separate Subject Entirely

While prodding my way through some assigned readings I came across a fact about Sylvester Stallone. It appears that during Stallone's draft-age years, Stallone was,
"teaching at a private girl's school in Switzerland, studying acting in Miami, and acting in a soft-core porn film titled A Party at Kitty and Stud's."
It is in a chapter from, After the Fact: The Art of Historical Detection. The chapter deals with film's reflection of reality, and specifically its reflection of history. Obviously Rambo is fiction, but the films do act under the pretext that Vietnam could be won if we just killed enough of 'them'.
