To lose one movie career might be regarded as a misfortune - to lose two looks like carelessness. John Travolta was born to a drama teacher and tyre salesman in New Jersey, 1954. He made pop albums, and appeared on Broadway and TV before his role in 1976's Carrie. He hit the big time as Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever, but after Grease turned down American Gigolo and An Officer and a Gentleman. Richard Gere said thanks, Travolta's career tanked, but when Tarantino persuaded him to take on the role of Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction he was back in the big time. Trousering 20 million a movie, he has tried to jack it all in again with Battlefield Earth.
