He died at 91 years of age as a result of prostrate cancer. He married Jackie, Sylvester’s mom in 1945 but both separated in 1957. They had two children together, the other being singer Frank Stallone.
Sylvester Stallone’ mother is Jacqueline Stallone, 94. She is an American astrologer, promoter of women’s wrestling (now you see where Stallone got his love for wrestling from) and a former dancer. Jackie Stallone is a rather controversial celebrity, she has made TV appearances in The Howard Stein Show where she claimed the actor’s father wanted him aborted, she has also appeared on UK TV series Celebrity Big Brother and Through The Keyhole, a BBC TV Show.
Jackie has undergone excessive plastic surgeries which has resulted in giving her a horrible look. She also calls herself “botched”. Surgery doesn’t seem to go down well with her at all, back when she was pregnant with Sylvester, she underwent an operation during his delivery which resulted in paralyzing the left side of his face including parts of his lips, tongue and chin. The actor has followed in his moms footsteps and have had various plastic procedures in a bid to solve the facial problem but at some point it didn’t go down well with him.
