On TV: Home Stallone<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nWhat does it take to get a celebrity couple to open their house to the public? In the case of SYLVESTER STALLONE<\/b> and JENNIFER FLAVIN<\/b>, whose Beverly Hills place was the scene of a guided tour televised for Home Shopping Networks<\/b> viewers May 6, it was a cause close to home, as FLAVIN<\/b> sold skin-care products and a percentage of the proceeds went to heart research. Their daughter SOPHIA ROSE<\/b>, who turns 4 in August, was born with a ventricular septal defect, a congenital heart defect.<\/p>\n She’s fine thanks to surgery when she was 10 weeks old, but the STALLONES<\/b> think more people, particularly new parents, need to be more aware of the ailment. “At first,” says FLAVIN<\/b>, 31, “you think your baby’s a little fussy or maybe has colic. SOPHIA <\/b> wouldn’t lie down; she would vomit constantly. She wasn’t gaining weight. But you never think that your child has a hole in it’s heart.”<\/span><\/p>\n \nAfter SOPHIA<\/b>‘s condition was diagnosed, FLAVIN<\/b> researched the problem and held fundraisers for the Heart of a Child Foundation<\/b>, which supports heart-defect research.<\/p>\n The May 22, 2000 issue of People contains the following picture and article.

\nSOPHIA<\/b>, fully recovered is “the most energetic child I’ve ever seen, a whirling dervish,” says STALLONE<\/b>. She is going to be fine, but says SLY<\/b>, “a lot of people don’t know about congenital heart disease. We have to bang the drum loudly; and hopefully people will rally to the cause. We want to raise awareness.”
