Born on July 6, 1946, he grew up in Manhattan, New York, to parents Francesco Stallone Sr. and Jackie Stallone, an astrologer, dancer and promoter of women’s wrestling. The latter went on to share the spotlight alongside her son.

While many people are familiar with Stallone and his many accomplishments and years in the spotlight, others have also grown to follow the story of his mother, who made several headlines during her life. Jackie was born on Nov. 29, 1921 and lived an accomplished life filled with many career ventures. Jackie was also outspoken about her personal life behind the scenes, sharing the ups and downs she experienced along the way. She died in her sleep at her home in Los Angeles, California, on Sept. 21, 2020, at the age of 98.

During her life, Jackie made several headlines for her successes, as well as some of her failures. She was friends with plenty of other celebrities and made many public appearances, helping to keep the Stallone name alive and well. She was open and honest about her many plastic surgery procedures and the regrets she felt following them, sharing more personal details as her life went on. Read on to find out more about Jackie’s life story as well as some of her biggest accomplishments and biggest regrets.

When Jackie died in September 2020, the world mourned the loss of a motherly figure. She was a celebrity astrologer and women’s professional wrestling manager. According to USA Today, Jackie first emerged as a celebrity astrologer in the mid-1990s and set up a TV psychic hotline. She later referred to herself as “the foremost American rumpologist.” She also went on to appear on the television series “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2005.

Jackie’s musician son named Frank Stallone announced the news on Instagram, sharing a beautiful photo of his late mother and a beautiful message in the caption. He wrote:

“This morning my brothers and I lost our mother Jackie Stallone. 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 (a) very eccentric and flamboyant person.”

According to Variety, Jackie had her own cosmetics line of facial masks, making more news with her looks and beauty ideas. She also appeared on several talk shows, including “Oprah,” “The Late Show with David Letterman” and “The Graham Norton Show.”

Back in June 2013, Jackie opened up about some of her plastic surgery regrets, but admitted that she was still a fan of cosmetic procedures at the time when she was 91 years old. According to the Daily Mail, she explained that she didn’t fear death and was excited to look so striking when most people around her age are typically already in nursing homes.

Still, she couldn’t help but look back at some of the mistakes she made along the way, despite revealing that she still used cosmetic surgery at the time. She said, “I do and actually I’ve got too much, I look like I’ve got a mouth full of nuts, it’s Juvederm (a cosmetic filler), too much of it.I feel as though I look like a chipmunk.”

However, Jackie still attended red carpets at the time wearing high heels and mini skirts, showing off her amazing figure, especially for someone her age. Jackie said that she had three chemical peels and about 50 injections, but no Botox. 

Although she relied on plastic surgery to help with some areas she wasn’t necessarily content with, Jackie made sure to stay as fit and healthy as possible during her life. “I use a bag of spinach a day, every morning for breakfast I steam a bowl of it and boil an egg on it,” she said. “That’s the secret to my longevity.” She added, “Who do you know that looks as good at 91? I am healthy.”

According to the Daily Mail, Jackie used to take tap dancing classes three times a week and met with a physical trainer twice a week. “I don’t waste my time going to silly Hollywood parties,” she said. “You have to be a role model for seniors. And actually I became a role model for the movie stars at 50, because what they dread more than anything is getting older and shot. But I get more popular as I get older.”
