John
Joseph Travolta is born.
Actor,
dancer, and singer. Travolta first became known in the 1970s, after appearing
on the television series Welcome Back, Kotter
and starring in the box office successes Saturday Night Fever
and Grease. Travolta's acting career
declined through the 1980s. His career enjoyed a resurgence in the 1990s with
his role in Pulp Fiction,
and he has since continued starring in more recent films such as Face/Off, Ladder 49,
and Wild Hogs. Travolta was nominated
for the Academy Award for
Best Actor for Saturday Night Fever and Pulp
Fiction. He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical

To quote the Bicentennial Minute, "And that's the way it was".
