Jackie Stallone, the mother of iconic movie star Sylvester Stallone, has died at the age of 98. Her son and musician Frank Stallone confirmed the passing of his mother in an Instagram post, sharing that she passed away in her sleep.
“This morning my brothers and I lost our mother Jackie Stallone,” Frank posted to IG. “She was the mother to four children, Tommy, Sylvester, Frankie and my late sister Toni Ann. She was a remarkable woman working out everyday full of spunk and fearless. She died in her sleep as she had wished. It was hard not to like her, she was very eccentric and flamboyant person.”
Jackie’s son Sylvester is known as one of the most iconic movie action heroes for franchises like “Rocky,” “Rambo" and other classic blockbusters, while her son Frank is known for his hit “Far From Over,” which peaked in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983.
Though, Jackie was a star in her own right too. She is known for being a promoter of the ’80s wrestling organization GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, which inspired the hit Netflix series “GLOW.” That’s not all. Jackie was also a famous astrologer and dancer. She even “re-invented” rumpology. Similar to palm reading, rumpology is the art of reading someone by examining a photo of their bottom, also known as bottom reading. Jackie was credited with the “revival of the ancient art rumpology.”
She had quite the career. Rather if it’s as the mother of Rocky/Rambo, a GLOW promoter or rumpologist—Jackie will be remembered.
