Movies like Saturday Night Fever (1977) made a lot of money, and John Travolta became a famous star all over the world.
He became even more well-known after starring in the movie Grease.
It was 1954 when John was born in New Jersey, New York.
He was the youngest child in his family.
He quit high school to focus on acting because he knew since he was a child that he wanted to be an actor.
Even though it was risky, he can now say that it was the best choice he could have made.
John has had parts in many movies over the years, including Two of a Kind (1983), Pulp Fiction (1994), Get Shorty (1995), for which he won a Golden Globe, Broken Arrow (1996), Wild Hogs (2007), Gotti (2018), and more.
John got married to actress Kelly Preston in 1991. She was married when they met.
Kelly said in 2018 that she wasn’t happy in her other marriage and that she wasn’t with the right person.
In July 2020, Kelly passed away from breast cancer. She and John had been married for almost 30 years.
Their son was born on April 13, 1992, and his name was Jett. Their daughter Ella Bleu was born in 2000, and their boy Benjamin, the youngest, was born in 2010.
Jett passed away in 2009 from seizures he had because he had autism. John felt terrible and said he didn’t know how to deal with it all. The star had to get better so he could spend time with his other two kids.
Like both of her parents, Ella is an actor. She said that she had been interested in this field since she was a child and that she was lucky to have parents who gave her good advice.
Eliana wrote some lovely words for her mom after Kelly died. She said her mom is the best person she’s ever met and that she loves her a lot. She thanked her for everything she has done for her.
