Travolta languished for nearly a decade in forgettable
and/or unpopular films. His most notable work during this phase was a
1987 ABC-TV special: Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter, a one-act two-character
play directed by Robert Altman, in which Travolta played a Cockney hit
man. It was not until the sleeper hit of 1989, Look Who's Talking, however,
that Travolta was associated with another major box office success. This
romantic comedy featured the unreasonably popular gimmick of presenting
a baby's thoughts in voice over and generated two more jobs for the former
superstar in sequels. On January 1st, 1991, John became engaged to Kelly
Preston. The couple was married September 5, 1991, in Paris, France, and
remarried on September 12, 1991 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Apparently
the marriage in France wasn't legal. On April 13, 1992 their son Jett
was born.
