John Travolta

An interesting fact about John Travolta is that he took dancing lessons from Fred Kelly (Gene Kelly's brother) from age six. He is also married to actress Kelly Preston. See more about these and other facts at:

He is an excellent actor and really the example of what star material is and can be. My only sad point for him was his role in 'Battlefield Earth' - I do not know what he was thinking there, but it was horrible. On another note he loves planes (has his commercial license too) and you should see his specially designed jet that he flys himself!

The Travoltas are going through a very hard time. Their 16 years old son (who is autistic) hit his head on a bathtub in the Bahamas where they were vacationing and he died.
Interesting enough about this child with autism. Most journalist and editors who know him well clearly state the child is disable and autistic but the Travoltas say there is absolutely nothing wrong with the child but the fact he had a heart condition only. Those who met the child say otherwise. But if we want to understand why the Travoltas deny these things is because Scientology believes mental illnesses are a "weakness" that should be overcome WITHOUT medical intervention so I guess if they admit the kid was autistic and he was not receiving the proper medical help he needed, they would get so much pressure from every possible angle.
You always see the Travoltas with their youngest daughter (8) but hardly you see pics with their son.
Very sad situation for everyone involved.

John Travolta testified on a Bahamas trial (some people are charged with extortion) and he actually admitted (after all these years) that his son was autistic.
QUOTE NASSAU, Bahamas -- John Travolta said Wednesday he tried desperately to save the life of his seizure-prone son and made perhaps his first public description of the boy as autistic as he testified in the trial of two people accused of trying to blackmail him.
With his wife, Kelly Preston, looking on inside the Nassau courtroom, Travolta said that he performed CPR on his son after a nanny alerted him the teen had fallen ill at a family vacation home on Grand Bahama island. Jett Travolta later died from a seizure.
"I ran downstairs with my wife to help my son," Travolta said.
Travolta is the star witness at the trial of two people -- paramedic Tarino Lightbourne and former Bahamian Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater -- who are accused of trying to extort $25 million from the movie star. Both defendants pleaded innocent to extortion charges at the trial that began Monday in this island chain off the Florida coast.
Travolta testified that he and Preston were awakened by a nanny around 10:15 a.m. On Jan. 2, the day of Jett's death. Travolta said when he went downstairs, another caretaker was doing chest compressions and he began administering breathing help.
Travolta also said -- apparently for the first time in public -- that 16-year-old Jett was autistic, confirming speculation that had swirled for years. The developmental disorder is frequently accompanied by seizures.
"He was autistic. He suffered from a seizure disorder," Travolta told the jury when asked about his son's condition....

It is rumored that Scientology may soon lose one of his faithful followers: John Travolta. His admittance on court that his son was in fact autistic it seems to be a clear sign that he may soon leave the organization. As we all know, Scientology does not believe in drugs to cure illnesses. In the past, he mentioned that his son had Kawasaki disease, a rare condition that causes arterial inflammation (autism is not recognized in their church). Back in July, he denied reports claiming he was abandoning Scientology following the death of his son but now, he's keeping quiet and refuses to comment on his relationship with the church.
