Sylvester Stallone's 98-Year-Old Mom Jacqueline Shares Video from Her Tap Dance Class and Fans Are Excited
"Rambo" star Sylvester Stallone's mom, Jacqueline, yet again proved that age is just a number! The 98-year-old recently shared a video of herself from her tap dancing class on Instagram and fans were excited to see that she has still got the oomph.
Sylvester Stallone might be a big star, but his mother Jackie shines no less bright. The astrologer took to Instagram to share a video of herself from a tap-dancing class on Instagram and her fans couldn't be more delighted.
Jackie, who shares an uncanny resemblance to her son, loves to show off her playful side to her followers on Instagram. At 98, she lives an active life with plenty of exercises and of course, tap-dancing.
IT'S A GOOD LIFE
Fans who were excited to see the sprightly dancer took to the comments section to gush about how amazing she looked.
Jackie was born on November 29, 1921, in Washington, District of Columbia. She is an astrologer, dancer, and she also had a career in acting. She is best known for her roles in movies including "Beach Babes from Beyond" and "The Appointment."

She is also an avid supporter of women's wrestling and was also a part of "GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling." A woman who has led a versatile life, Jackie is also an author who wrote the book called "StarPower I & II."
Jackie is a proud mother to her kids, Sylvester, Frank Jr., and Toni D'Alto. She welcomed Sylvester and Frank when she was married to her first husband, Frank Stallone Sr.
UPS AND DOWNS
Meanwhile, the actress' daughter Toni was born from her union with her second husband, Tony Fiilti. Sadly, she passed away on August 26, 2012, after fighting a long battle with lung cancer.
While Jackie's life seems to be perfect, she has endured a fair share of tragedy. She went through a painful period when Sylvester was born on July 6, 1946.
When she was going through labor to give birth to Sylvester, a physician severed his facial nerve on the left side. The baby's lip, chin, and half of the tongue were paralyzed.
Sylvester grew up with a lopsided mouth, droopy eyes, and a speech impediment. His childhood was far from perfect with constant bullying by his friends. On top of that, his parents didn't exactly shower him with love.
At the age of 15, he got into bodybuilding. His first set of weights was an automobile axle and that is how he started gaining those muscles that his fans so admire.
In the years that followed, Sylvester turned to acting but he wasn't having any luck with that career choice. It wasn't until he was 29 that he got his first break in the movie named "Rocky." Today, the actor's net worth amounts to a whopping $500 million.
