Jackie Stallone, mother of Sylvester Stallone and his siblings, died in her sleep, "as she had wished". Musician Frank Stallone (70), the actor's brother, broke the sad news on Tuesday morning with an Instagram post.

The astrologer was born in Washington D.C. in 1921 and was the mother of three children. She also had several grand- and great-grandchildren.

Despite her advanced age, her mind was "as sharp as a razor" until the end, Frank Stallone wrote.
