Career Slump

Even the biggest of stars have had their failures. John Travolta is no exception. After Urban Cowboy, he hit a bit of a slump. He even turned down roles like, American Gigolo and An Officer and a Gentleman. Famous actor Richard Gere gladly snatched those roles up. Some speculated he was at the end of his acting days, but then in 1994, everything changed. It was his famous role in the acclaimed Pulp Fiction that rocketed him back into stardom.

Princess Diana

Not many people can say they shared a dance with the late Princess Diana. Well, Travolta sure can! It was November of 1985, when Nancy Reagan approached the star. They were at a gala in the White House, hosted by then President Reagan. The first lady told Travolta that Princess Diana hoped for a dance and was wondering if he could grant her wish. Of course, no one had to ask Travolta twice. Travolta was extremely humbled and honored to have shared that special moment with her.
