Page 4 April 3 - 9, 2023 "Carrie" (1976) As a warm-up to his movie stardom, Travolta made himself evident as one of the tormentors of the telekinetic title heroine (Sissy Spacek) in the first film to be made from a Stephen King novel. "Saturday Night Fever" (1977) He was a tele- vision star already thanks to "Welcome Back, Kotter," but Travolta hit the Hollywood map in an even bigger way with his earnest performance as aspiring Brook- lyn dancer Tony Manero. Here's a classic example of a role that fit like a glove. "Grease" (1978) Even if Travolta and Olivia Newton-John were a bit far along to be age-ap- propriate as teen romantics Danny and Sandy, their teaming in the musical has held up beautifully for 45 (!) years. "Urban Cowboy" (1980) Travolta's early winning streak continued as he wooed, won, lost and won back Debra Winger ... no "bull" about it. (If you've seen the movie, you know the reference.) "Look Who's Talking" (1989) Though a baby who talks (with the voice of Bruce Willis) is the show-stealer here, Travolta's presence adds much to the popular comedy, which yielded two sequels. "Pulp Fiction" (1994) Thanks to filmmaker and fan Quentin Tarantino, Travolta got back in the game as Samuel L. Jackson's hit-man partner. "Get Shorty" (1995) Elmore Leonard's small-time enforcer character proves an excellent match for a cool and confident Travolta. "Face/Off" (1997) Travolta has a blast channel- ing Nicolas Cage – and vice versa – in director John Woo's switched-identities thriller. "Primary Colors" (1998) Look closely under the Clintonesque makeup and manner. That's really Travolta as an ethically malleable president. "Hairspray" (2007) Only someone as self-con- fident as Travolta would cross-dress to camp it up as Edna Turnblad, mom of the tale's heroine. bestof ...
