John Travolta Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
The amusement legend is just one of six kids of Helen and Salvatore Travolta. Travolta’s dad possessed a tire repair shop in Hillsdale, NJ, Travolta Tires. Travolta’s mom registered the precocious child in drama school in New York City where he studied voice, singing, and dancing. Though it’s believed Travolta began playing when he became a household name with Welcome Back, Kotter, Travolta really was in several TV, advertisement, and film characters before landing that big break. He was even in the broadway show “Grease” (before the film). It is difficult to talk about John Travolta and not talk about air travel. Travolta is really an incredibly skilled aviator he’s made at least 2 safe emergency landings when equipment failure hindered his airplane. One remarkable event took place when he successfully landed a Gulfstream IIB at Washington National when it experienced total electrical failure during icing and during the nighttime. Another touchdown was successfully finished in a Boeing 707 in Ireland on a flight which was initially intended to go from Germany to NYC. Travolta is qualified on many various kinds of aircraft along with possesses several aircraft including a Learjet, a Gulfstream as well as a Boeing 707. His 707 was formerly constructed in 1964 for QANTAS. Among other iconic moments in the star’s life was when in 1985 Princess Diana requested him to dance in a White House event. Travolta is good buddies with Kirstie Alley, Dakota Fanning, and Robin Williams. He’s been married to Kelly Preston since 1991.
Travolta dropped out of high school and moved to NYC to pursue an acting career and not looked back. He successfully got parts while in The Big Apple, but when work dried up he moved to Hollywood. Travolta did find himself back in New York to get a broadway production of “Grease.” Nevertheless, he found himself forever in Hollywood and was in 79 of 93 episodes of “Welcome Back, Kotter” starting in 1975. For the part he spent nine months learning the best way to dance to disco music. Travolta seems rather young for his age therefore it is difficult to believe he was born in 1954. Really Travolta has met and was buddies with all the infamous performers James Cagney, Cary Grant, and Barbara Stanwyck. What many don’t understand is that Travolta has had the longevity and career of 2 or 3 performers in a single life that’s barely over yet. He really has 68 performing credits to his name and during the time of the writing 4 films are declared or in pre-production. Additionally, Travolta had not been the first pick, believe it or not believe it , for Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction. Michael Madsen’s was slotted for the part but had a battle. All that isn’t to say Travolta would not have had a break if not for getting the part. Few also realize that Travolta is a novel writer and musician having released several records.
Just how much is John Travolta’s Net Worth? $165 Million!
Travolta’s net worth is around $160 million owing to the fact he’s undeniably one of Hollywood’s elite A List celebrities. Studios rely on him for his bankable standing and he’s many many pay days for movie parts since 1997 over $20 million each. Along with his cash he notoriously indulges in his passion for air travel possessing not only several aircraft but in addition a dwelling on an airstrip in Florida with drive up taxi ways to his house. Outside of his Florida air travel digs Travolta also possessed a house in Hawaii which he sold to Kathy Ireland becoming part of Ireland’s resort company. Travolta now also owns houses in California and Maine but his primary home is in Florida.

# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | I watched this Fellini movie when I was five called La Strada (1954) and I said to my father: "Why did Giulietta Masina die?" and he said: "She died of a broken heart." "You can die of a broken heart?" He said: "Yes, you can be so sad that you can die of a broken heart." "Without being ill?" He said: "Yes!" It changed my whole life. I never wanted to break anyone's heart, for sure! But it made me consider that. Most kids were considering other things; I was considering Giulietta Masina in a Fellini film. |
2 | My mother was an acting teacher. She taught more of the existentialist style, which was that acting is believing that you're in the moment with the other actor, and I like that. I'm more comfortable portraying what I'm feeling at the moment and not knowing what I'm going to do next. |
3 | [2014] In the old days, you didn't do a movie three times a year; you did a movie once every year and a half or every three years. You had a lot of time between films. I remember taking violin lessons, painting lessons, French lessons, you know, to fill my time. Otherwise you get in trouble. But the memories of all the films are wonderful. |
4 | [2014] My films have an interesting continuous effect. Grease (1978) for some reason never went away. Do you know that to this day, every year, the Hollywood Bowl charges $275 a ticket to sit in an audience with a 36-year-old film and sing along to it? I've never heard of anything like that in my life. So there is some magic to that particular film. There's other films like The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Gone with the Wind (1939) that don't end either, but this has a continuous new audience, as opposed to, "oh, that's an old movie". No one looks at Grease as an old movie. It just keeps on living. That's how I view it, as a gift to the public and myself as an ongoing thing. |
5 | [on the death of Robin Williams] I've never known a sweeter, brighter, more considerate person than Robin. Robin's commitment as an artist to lifting our mood and making us happy is compared to none. He loved us all and we loved him back. |
6 | [on the death of his teenage son Jett] The worst thing that's ever happened in my life. The truth is, I didn't know if I was going to make it. Life was no longer interesting to me, so it took a lot to get me better. |
7 | One's own life is not as colourful as a character that's created in a movie because they go through a million colours in a short period of time. In one's own life, it may take four years to go through those colours. |
8 | Every time I did an interview after Moment by Moment (1978), they went right for the negative things first. I feel that the criticism after the film became abusive. It went beyond mere criticism. You would have thought Lily (Tomlin) and I had committed murder. I thought, my God, don't ever do a movie people don't like; they'll murder you. |
9 | [on his plans for after the 2014 Oscars ceremony] I don't drink very much, but I wait until Oscar night to have my drinks. So now I'm ready to stay out until five in the morning. We're gonna do Vanity Fair, then we're gonna do Madonna's party, and we're gonna have fun tonight. I'm not gonna be happy until we see the sun rise. |
10 | [on dancing with Princess Diana at the White House in 1985] There really was something lovely and girlish about her and I felt that I had taken her back to her childhood when she had probably watched Grease (1978) and for that moment I was her Prince Charming. |
11 | I don't think I'm very cool as a person. I'm just better than anyone else at acting cool. |
12 | My best quality? The transparency in my eyes. I only have to think a thought and it's seen. |
13 | To be honest, I thought "Pulp" would have the same fate as Reservoir Dogs (1992), meaning it would be an art house movie that would have a smaller audience. I never thought it would have a mainstream audience; I thought it was too unique of a movie to hit a commercial note. And when it did, it surprised all of us, I think, because we were going to be fine with it having the same success as Reservoir Dogs. But that it would become Forrest Gump (1994) was a whole other idea. |
14 | [on being cast in Pulp Fiction (1994)] There was a rumor that a young new director who had directed a film called Reservoir Dogs (1992) was quite interested in working with me. And his name was Quentin Tarantino. I said, "Sounds good. He's talented. I saw the movie. I would love to meet him, too." After six or seven hours of hanging out, he verbally presented two ideas to me. One was the vampire movie From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) and the other one was Pulp Fiction. I responded to Pulp Fiction but I didn't respond to From Dusk Till Dawn, and he noticed that. So at the end of the meeting he said, "I'm curious. You seem to like the Pulp Fiction one, but you did not respond as much to the other." I said, "Well, it's simple, Quentin. I'm just not a vampire guy.". |
15 | [on how the late James Gandolfini consoled him after the death of his son] James went out of his way to come to Florida and he would not leave Florida until I was okay, or he felt that I would be fine. After a week I said, 'Jim you can really, you can, you know, we'll be fine. I've got a lot of support here.' But the idea that in our profession someone would go out of their way and not want to leave you until he felt you were okay, that's the kind of soul that James Gandolfini was. My father sold tires to his father. I was his inspiration to get into the business. He would see pictures of me on the wall from movies and he decided that he wanted to be an actor. He was a people person first and then everything else. He was this beautiful man and I love him very much. |
16 | [on Saturday Night Fever (1977)]: I love being regarded as a sex symbol, but I can't take it too seriously. |
17 | [on his role as Edna in Hairspray (2007)] It was tough dancing in high heels, but we did change the heels to more of a dance shoe - like a Capezio. You know they kept giving me these skinny high heels and it's like, "Okay, I understand those. My mother wore those." However, when I was growing up and I saw girls in the chorus, they had a thicker heel and it was a dance shoe and I kept telling them to find those shoes. I knew they existed, and finally they brought out a shoe and I said, "That's the shoe! Now make it in many colors.". |
18 | As you get older, you have to force yourself to have new dreams. For instance, I've been flying for 37 years but now teaching others to fly is interesting for me. Sometimes, you have to find new angles on life to keep you interested, like sharing successes and inspiring and helping others. You have to go out of your way to activate your dreams and keep them going in this third chapter of your life. |
19 | When they asked me to be Edna Turnblad I said, "Gee, 32 years as a leading man -- why me? What makes you think I'd be the perfect woman?". |
20 | There is nothing gay in this movie (Hairspray (2007)). I'm not playing a gay man. Scientology is not homophobic in any way. In fact, it's one of the more tolerant faiths. Anyone's accepted. |
21 | I have fame on the level of a Marilyn Monroe or an Elvis Presley, but part of the reason I didn't go the way they did was because of my beliefs. People make judgments about Scientology, but often they don't know what they're talking about. |
22 | [on his role in Carrie (1976)]: I wanted to work with Brian De Palma. I knew the film would be interesting and attract a lot of attention. |
