1. - Geraldine Hughes, Rocky Balboa, 2006. Julie was just a Philadelphian kid when she played Marie in the first Rocky, 1976. Until the final cut, she had also been an older Marie in Rocky V some 14 years later. And she insisted that Sylvester Stallone had promised her the Marie succeeding his precious “Adrian!!!” in the final chapter. She cleared decks - she was by now a comic and singer - to be ready for the shoot and when the Irish actress was cast, Lezitia’s lawyer sued Stallone. The case ended. Quietly.
