Jackie Stallone, the mother of Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone and one of Celebrity Big Brother's most memorable contestants, has passed away, aged 98. Jackie, who was also skilled in astrology and was known to be an avid promoter of wrestling, passed away in her sleep, as she had wished, according to her son, Frank.
It was hard not to like her, she was a very eccentric and flamboyant person. Her mind was razor sharp until the day she died," he added in an Instagram post.
Born Jacqueline Frances Labofish on November 29, 1921, Jackie ran away from her home in Washington DC as a 15-year-old to join the circus.
"I guess I'm drowning my emotions in tears and to[o] much vino. But when you've known someone for 70 yrs it tough and sad. My brother Sylvester took care of her like a Queen for all of her life. I will never be able to call my mom again or have her yell at me why I never got married. But we all loved her and her sprit to survive and prevail. I'll miss you always mommy," Frank further wrote.
