Travolta has had a great career, rising to fame in the 1970s, facing a series of flops in the 1980s, and resurrecting his career in the 1990s with Pulp Fiction and Face/Off.
His life has been marked by a trio of tragedies. John’s first love, actress Diana Hyland, was 18 years his senior. The two dated for two years until she died of breast cancer in 1977.
In 2009, his eldest son with his wife, the late Kelly Preston, Jett Travolta, who suffered from seizures and was autistic, died after hitting his head on a bathtub in the middle of a seizure.
In 2020, his wife of 29 years, Kelly, also died after a secret battle with breast cancer.
Last year he paid tribute to his late wife on what would have been her 60th birthday: ‘Happy birthday Kelly! We love you!’ he posted on Instagram along with a photo of Kelly.
