John Travolta has been famous for a very long time. Even before 1977, when Saturday Night Fever was popular, he was known for playing a part on the television show, Welcome Back Kotter.
In 1954, John Travolta was born in New Jersey and was the youngest child in the family. He knew that he wanted to be an actor so he quit high school to focus on his dream.
That was a big risk, but it ended up paying off in ways he could never have imagined. Over the years, Travolta has been a part of many huge movies, including Two of a Kind (1983), Pulp Fiction (1994), Get Shorty (1995), Broken Arrow (1996), Wild Hogs (2007), Gotti (2018), and more.
In 1991, his life changed when he married Kelly Preston. She was married at the time but admitted in an interview in 2018 that she wasn’t happy in her first marriage and wasn’t with the right person.
Unfortunately, Kelly passed away in July 2020. She died of breast cancer after being married to John for almost 30 years.
