Move To Country
Unsurprisingly, everything Travola touched turned to gold back after his big break. Back after Saturday Night Fever, he tried to switch things up and put a country twist on things. His role in Urban Cowboy, a 1980s movie, allowed him to act alongside Debra Winger.
The movie took place in Pasadena, Texas. Apparently, it helped spark a national craze for country music! Leave it to Travolta to be a trendsetter even in a music genre.
Career Slump
Even the biggest of stars have had their failures. John Travolta is no exception. After Urban Cowboy, he hit a bit of a slump. He even turned down roles like, American Gigolo and An Officer and a Gentleman. Famous actor Richard Gere gladly snatched those roles up.
Some speculated he was at the end of his acting days, but then in 1994, everything changed. It was his famous role in the acclaimed Pulp Fiction that rocketed him back into stardom.
