			==Travolta Was Actually Born in 1952, Not 1954==
			Trvolta was actually born in 1952, not 1954, but he made the switch upon the release of Pulp Fiction in the mid-1990s. I have several friends who complain that Travolta was a year older than them in the '70s but was suddenly a year younger in the '90s. He managed the switch because the internet was still a scrolling text at that time with basically just university and military viewers, and very few people owned a personal computer (I was one of the very few people and remember it well).

			Nope. Travolta was using the 1954 birth year since at least back in the days of "Welcome Back, Kotter." That was in the mid 1970s. He was using that date when he was dating Diana Hyland, who died in 1977. There was 18 years difference between their ages. She was born in 1936, and he was born in 1954.

	The section on "Family" needs a complete rewrite. It doesn't mention, for example, when Travolta married Kelly Preston or the fact that they have a daughter, much less her name. Rather, it's all about allegations that Travolta and Preston's son is autistic, which are ultimately sourced to a Hollywood gossip blog, and a major newspaper's gossip column which uses as its only source the same blog entry (plus a summary of Usenet posts). The section also says, ''In the words of a director of one advocacy video, Joey's support of organizations like Cure Autism Now keeps him up at night, such is his fear of authorities breaking down his door and taking him away to be "cured".'' This belongs, if anywhere, in a "Criticism" section of the ] article, but as it is unsourced criticism of a living person, it probably does not belong anywhere in Misplaced Pages. --] 02:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

			Diana Hyland began a romantic relationship with actor John Travolta, 18 years her junior, in 1976 after meeting him when she played his mother in the television movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble.
			Hyland was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1975, and underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy . However, the cancer spread and her health continued to deteriorate. Hyland and Travolta remained together until her death at age 41 on March 27, 1977, in Los Angeles.She died with Travolta, Eight Is Enough co-star Dick Van Patten, and his wife Paula by her side. ] (]) 23:38, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

I would like to add the film Swordfish to the opening paragraph in the enumeration of Travolta's suite of comeback films. I believe it showcased Travolta in a critical role that helped memorialize his personality into that figurative Mt. Rushmore which is Hollywood and the Motion Picture Industry.

In the ‘aviation’ section, change “he owns four aircraft” to: “he owns four aircrafts” Nature of change: grammar. Mariemariamai (talk) 07:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Not done I have undone this edit, as it was based on a misunderstanding. It was correct before: the plural of aircraft is aircraft. Best wishes to all DBaK (talk) 22:04, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Opening Paragraph

Of course because wikipedia is shitlib shit I'm not allowed to edit this article, so the world will continue getting shit information, especially in the opening paragraphs. But anyway, Travolta did NOT have a leading role in Carrie. He's only in it a few minutes. The sentence should read, "his first movie role was in Carrie (1976), followed by leading roles in Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Grease (1978). 2601:449:4880:A5E0:2961:DD20:944E:4C64 (talk) 21:31, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
