With his piercing blue eyes, dazzling smile, and innate sense of cool, John Travolta has, for over three decades, won a place in the hearts of millions of film fans. From disco king to ice-cool gangster, the ease with which he can slip into a character has made him one of Hollywood’s most popular leading men. Travolta’s amazing ability to reinvent himself as an actor has spanned generations of movie-goers—his appeal as white-hot dancer Tony Romero in Saturday Night Fever evolved over the years into intense, utterly convincing performances, among the most memorable as hitman Vincent Vega in the box-office smash Pulp Fiction. Perceptively written, thoroughly researched, and based on scores of interviews with friends, colleagues, and family, John Travolta: King of Cool looks at the star’s entire life and career, as well as his involvement with the Church of Scientology and his relationship with wife Kelly Preston.
