Jackie Stallone
November 29, 1921 – September 21, 2020
Didn't have too much in the way of observation, but over the years I have encountered Sly Stallone's late mother, Jackie on the television in various roles and doing commercials.
She was a dancer, astrologer and businesswoman who was one of those larger than life personalities who didn't shy away from the camera or anything else for that matter.
Jacqueline Frances Labofish Stallone was a lady of numerous memorable images who worked as a promoter for the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
Having a few marriages under her belt, she was the mother of actor Sylvester Stallone, singer Frank Stallone, and actress Toni D'Alto.
The late night comedians parodied her intermittely over the years and she was featured on various programs as well as commercial spots for her business endeavors.
Of course, the wrestling franchise involved publicity and stage acting and the reality circuit was another vehicle she pursued.
Jackie Stallone died in her sleep on September 21, 2020 at the ripe old age of 98 and I can think of much worse ways to go. Rest in peace.
