Moving to the City
Like most good success stories, Travolta’s move to the big city led him to the path of fame. Well, not immediately though.
Moving To The City
After dropping out of high school, he moved to NYC. Of course, things were not easy for him there. He got small roles in TV commercials, but moved to LA to try to make it big. It was in LA that he landed his iconic role in Grease, the Broadway show, not movie quite yet. Thus, he had to move back to the Big Apple.

However, it was probably his role in ABC’s Welcome Back, Kotter that gained Travolta worldwide recognition. From 1975 to 1979, he played Vinnie Barbarino and made girls across America blush.

Even though Travolta claimed he could not pull off cool, he tried to make audiences laugh. Despite his self-doubt, Travolta still ended up on bedroom posters across the nation.
