The Life
Singer, dancer, actor, idol, aviator, mystic - John Travolta has lived so many lives, consecutive and concurrent, that it's no wonder he scoffs when people talk of a single career-changing "comeback". No Hollywood star has risen so brightly, after so big a fall, as the man who returned from a decade in straight-to-video Hell to reclaim adulation as a loveable hit man in "Pulp Fiction". Nigel Andrews wittily scans the mother-dominated childhood in New Jersey; the years of life-endangering fan assault; the refuge in Scientology; the night his pilot exploits brought three major airports to a standstill; and with unique insights and revelations from the film-makers who have worked with him, the "comeback" years of high achievement as an actor.
