Jackie Stallone, the mother of Sylvester Stallone, astrologer, and "Celebrity Big Brother" contestant, has died at the age of 98. The news was confirmed by her son, the singer Frank Stallone, on his Facebook page.

“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,” he wrote.

“She died in her sleep as she had wished. It was hard not to like her, she was very eccentric and flamboyant person. She was born on November 29th 1921 in Washington DC ,she lived through prohibition, the depression and World War II.”




Born in Washington D.C., her family lived for a time with the famed bodybuilder Charles Atlas, and she would go on to become the first woman to have a daily TV show on exercise and weight lifting.

After working as a trapeze artist, nightclub singer and a hairdresser, she became a wrestling promoter before finding some prominence in the 1990s publishing astrology books and making TV appearances.

In 2005, she was a surprise contestant on UK reality series "Celebrity Big Brother", appearing alongside her former daughter-in-law Brigitte Nielsen, with the two having a famously fractious relationship. Stallone only spent four days in the house before being voted out by the public.
