John Travolta

John Travolta
After the smash-hit Grease which launched Travolta into an unsuspecting world, his career bombed for almost twenty years. It took Quentin Tarantino and his seminal Pulp Fiction to restore Travolta's credibility and since then he's been involved with a variety of minor but interesting hits. In his spare time Travolta is a fully trained jet airliner pilot and owns his own Boeing jet. He's also a Scientololigist.
