Glowing reviews for his performance in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994), restored Travolta to Hollywood's A-list. The resuscitated star found himself deluged with scripts and deals offering him the biggest paydays of his estimable career as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Travolta won Best Actor from both the Los Angeles Film Critics and the London Film Critics Circle for his role. In 1995 he won the award for Best Dance Sequence for Pulp Fiction from the MTV Movie Awards, which he shared with co-star Uma Thurman. Travolta capitalized on his success by starring in a trio of films: Barry Sonnenfeld's Get Shorty, for which he was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy), as well as the 1995 American Comedy Award for Funniest Male Performer in Film. In White Man's Burden (both 1995), Travolta starred with Harry Belafonte. In John's personal life, his father Salvatore Travolta passed away in 1995. John Woo's action-adventure thriller Broken Arrow (1996) followed, then Phenomenon (1996) in which he plays a man who is struck by a white light and develops superior abilities. In1998 Travolta garnered the MTV Movie Award for Best Onscreen Duo for his work in Face Off, which he shared with co-star Nicolas Cage. John and Kelly's daughter Ella Bleu Travolta was born on April 3rd, 2000. In his subtly playful expression, he carries almost three decades-worth of characters that have sculpted cultural trends and that have all, in their own way, smacked of the elusive familiarity and timeless temperance that are patently his own. "But you know, it's still a thrill."
