Biography: Mother of superstar John Travolta, Helen Travolta was a longtime high-school drama coach who -- along with husband Salvatore -- actually encouraged the 16-year-old John to drop out of high school to pursue an acting career. In 1977, her son would repay the favor by snagging her a bit part in the disco extravaganza Saturday Night Fever. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide |
