Time Is Cruel: You Won’t Even Recognize These Famous Faces

John Travolta, Saturday Night Fever

John Travolta got his start on the iconic television series Welcome Back, Kotter. But Travolta’s career owes much to the smash successes of Saturday Night Fever and Grease in the 1970s. He was young, attractive and could dance like no one else. His posters graced the bedroom walls of millions of teenage girls. It seemed he had it made.

Then his acting career took a substantial hit in the 1980s where it seemed he just couldn’t land a starring role and when he did – the films sunk without a trace. Luckily, the roles picked back up for Travolta.
