The reports stated that Sylvester made the museum's steps famous by playing Rocky Balboa.
A statement about the book also read, "The famous 72 steps in Philadelphia featured in the movie ‘Rocky’ have become symbolic of resilience and determination, and have inspired countless individuals."
"This memoir will represent the culmination of decades of reflection since 12-year-old Sly sat on those steps and daydreamed about being a hero," the statement said
It explained, "The real story is about facing, embracing, and ultimately overcoming life's challenges, step by step, and what we find when we do: hope, happiness, prideful humility, joy, and love."
