The American star Sylvester Stallone is going through a difficult day today after learning that his mother, Jackie Stallone, has passed away.

Jackie gained recognition as an astrologer and promoter of the women’s wrestling circuit GLOW, and was among the people who helped it be broadcast on major television networks.

Jackie Stallone, the mother of Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone, a television personality and renowned

astrologer, died on Monday at the age of 98, according to BBC, as reported by Agerpres.

Jackie, an eccentric and strong-willed woman, who made a name for herself as an astrologer and

promoter of the women’s wrestling circuit, “passed away in her sleep, as she wished,” revealed her youngest son, singer Frank Stallone, in a message posted on social media.

“It was hard not to like her, she was a very eccentric and flamboyant person. Her mind remained sharp as a razor until the day of her death,” he added.

Jackie, whose real name was Jacqueline Frances Labofish, was born on November 29, 1921 and ran away from her home in Washington at the age of 15 to join a circus troupe.
