Jacqueline Frances "Jackie" Stallone (née Labofish; born November 29, 1921) is an American astrologer, former dancer, and promoter of women's wrestling. She is the mother of the actor Sylvester Stallone and singer Frank Stallone. She is also the mother of the late actress Toni D'Alto (by her ex-husband Anthony Filiti) and the grandmother of seven.
Jackie Stallone was born Jacqueline Frances Labofish in Washington, D.C. Her father, John Paul Labofish (15 January 1891 – 11 September 1956), was a Washington lawyer. Her mother, Jeanne Victoria Anne "Adrienne" Clerec (1896-1974), was French, from Brittany. Her parents had met while her father was serving in the US Navy at Brest (Brittany) after the First World War. Her paternal grandparents, Rose (Lamlec) and Charles Labofisz, were Jewish immigrants from Odessa, Ukraine.
Her family lived with Charles Atlas who was a world-famous body builder and trained the family in gymnastics, weight lifting and jogging. Jacqueline was the first woman to have a daily TV show on exercise and weight lifting in Washington, D.C. and later opened a women-only gym, named Barbella's, for her loyal fans. During her youth, Stallone was a trapeze artist in a circus and a chorus girl in a nightclub. She was also a hairdresser. Her son Sylvester's father is Italian American Frank Stallone, Sr. She lived a relatively quiet life for most of her years. Even after Sylvester starred in the film Rocky in 1976 she remained unknown to the general public.
Stallone appeared on the 1980s wrestling program GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Stallone was shown rapping with Americana, Mt. Fiji and Susie Spirit behind her. She rapped about Aunt Kittie's girls and making them kitty litter. Stallone became famous in her own right during the mid-1990s, by publishing astrology books, making television appearances, and setting up a psychic hotline where she would charge telephone callers for advice from her and other operators. She also invented the term rumpology, which, according to her, is an art similar to that of palm reading except that the procedure is done by examining pictures of people's rear ends. She also claims that she can consult dogs to find out about the future. She also became involved in the cosmetics industry, launching facial masks and other products that she claimed cured skin problems.
