John Travolta
In 1977, things suddenly went wrong. His mother and his girlfriend died.
Travolta said it was the worst time of his life. He made several unsuccessful
films, and thought about giving up as an actor. He is a pilot and has three
planes, so he considered becoming a full-time pilot.
But then, when he was working on a movie called The Experts in 1987, he met
Kelly Preston. The film didn't do well, but John and Kelly fell in love. They got
married and they now have a son. They named him Jett because Travolta loves
jet planes. Before Jett was born, John and Kelly used to work or go out on
weekends, but they prefer to stay home now. The only problem is deciding
which home. They have four homes - in California, Florida, Maine, and Hawaii.
In the mid-nineties, John Travolta's luck as an actor changed for the better. He
made some very popular films, including Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, and Mad City.
For the second time in his career, he became successful.
