John Travolta Finally Breaks His Silence

By Shruti

Travolta Senior

Helen and John, who were mother and son, had a strong connection because they both loved acting and performing. Salvatore Travolta, who was the head of the family, was Italian-American. His grandparents came from Italy to live in the United States. Salvatore believed in the American dream and was passionate about playing football.

He had a semi-professional career as a football player but decided to take on something with more stability. Salvatore retired from his sports career and opened a tire shop to be run by the family in New Jersey. Sadly in 1995, Salvatore died leaving a gaping hole in the Travolta family.
