John Joseph Travolta (born February 18, 1954) is an Academy Award-nominated, Golden Globe Award-winning American actor and singer. He established his career as a leading Hollywood actor with films such as Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Travolta enjoyed a career revival in the 1990s, stemming from his role in Pulp Fiction. In 2007, Travolta intervened on behalf of fellow scientologist Tom Davis who he believed had been unfairly treated in the BBC current affairs program Panorama episode "Scientology and Me", lobbying Members of Parliament to stop the documentary from being aired. Travolta married actress Kelly Preston in 1991. They have a son named Jett, and a daughter named Ella Blue. |
