John Travolta Then
John Travolta got his start on the iconic television series Welcome Back, Kotter. Though, Travolta’s success owes a great deal to the 1970s mega-hits Saturday Night Fever and Grease. He was young, charismatic, and had a unique ability to dance. Millions of young girls had his posters on their walls. He appeared to have it all figured out. In the 1980s, his acting career suffered a significant hit as it seemed he couldn’t manage to secure a top part. Even when he did, the films sank without a trace. Fortunately, Travolta’s positions began to reappear.
