In Popular Culture
In 1994, Jackie Stallone was parodied in a Saturday Night Live skit in which Mike Myers played Stallone (looking similar to his Coffee Talk persona Linda Richman). Stallone advertised a hotline telling of her two sons "Sylvester, the famous star and Frank, a struggling musician". Stallone encouraged customers to call so she could steer them away from the "Frank", or negativity in their lives, and on their way to success and "Sylvester".
Her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother 3 was parodied in French and Saunders, with Dawn French playing Stallone and Jennifer Saunders playing Bridgette Nielsen. They parodied Jackie's entrance into the house, with French repeating "Yeah, Jackie" and Saunders repeating "Oh my god, Jackie".

“The best of us would rather be popular than right.”

“The white dominant culture seemed to think that once the Indians were off the reservations, they’d eventually become like everybody else. But they aren’t like everybody else. When the Indianness is drummed out of them, they are turned into hopeless drunks on skid row.”
—Elizabeth Morris (b. c. 1933)
