One of the most well-known actors in the world, Sylvester Stallone has succeeded in sustaining his career for many years by appearing in films that are acclaimed over the world. He is adored by all.

But do you know who his mother is? Jackie Stallone’s? She is not just the mother of Sylvester Stallone, but also a woman with a fascinating life story.

Jackie Stallone was a fascinating individual who enjoyed getting cosmetic surgery, but she did not keep this a secret and was forthright about it. She was born in Washington, D.C., in 1921.

Her mother was of French ancestry and a Parisian socialite from Brittany; her father, John, was a well-known lawyer in the city.

Being a very sporty and active young lady, Jackie made the decision to leave her home at the age of 15 in order to join the Flying Wallenda’s show for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

She aspired to be an acrobat, but her father was not at all happy with this choice because he wanted his daughter to become a respected lawyer.

Fortunately, Jackie was able to follow her passion of being on stage and followed a career on Broadway after working as a trapeze artist. Later, she went back to her hometown and started a TV station’s exercise show.

All of this may not seem significant right now, but Jackie was able to forge her own path at that time by overcoming some preconceived conceptions and ideas.

Jackie was the first woman in Washington, D.C., to have her own television program about exercise in the 1950s.

Jackie made the decision to start her own gym specifically for women because it was difficult for women to do many things at the time, including going to the gym.

She claimed that the government attempted for a very long time to shut down her business because it featured a statue of a woman lifting weights, which was not widely acceptable at the time.

Jackie first met Frank Stallone Sr., a hairdresser and sometimes actor, in 1945. Sylvester Stallone was born the following year. Jackie said that the baby’s body was distorted since the physicians’ actions during the birth were improper and the labor was quite painful.

Sylvester’s tongue, lips, and chin were all damaged, and his face was half paralyzed, but Jackie made the decision to keep going so that her child could communicate.

After having a second boy, Jackie and Frank were divorced, leaving her to raise the kids alone. In the wrestling show GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, Jackie made an appearance.

Later, in the 1990s, she started a career as an astrologer and rose to fame in the entertainment sector.

Then she released Star Power: An Astrological Guide to Supersuccess, an astrology book that became popular. In the years that followed, Jackie appeared on TV often and even developed cosmetics and face masks.

She mostly gained public recognition, nevertheless, as a result of cosmetic surgery, as her appearance was dramatically altered.

Although it is unknown how many cosmetic procedures Jackie underwent, she claimed in a 2013 interview that she underwent over 50 injections and three chemical peels.

Jackie continued to undergo these procedures even after turning 91, but after a few more years she expressed regret over having undergone so many procedures.

Jackie admitted that she had actually overstated the amount of filler, and the publications severely attacked her appearance. She was one of the few individuals who acknowledged all of her operations as well as the fact that eventually she had to quit.

Jackie constantly took care of her so that she could live a healthy lifestyle and participate in sports, despite the fact that she had to resort to these surgeries.

Her son Frank revealed in September 2020 that Jackie had regretfully passed away at the age of over 100. The fact that Jackie was so adored by others led to numerous others posting brief comments about her. Jackie passed away peacefully at her Los Angeles home.
