New Jersey native John Travolta studied acting, singing and dancing as a child and and quit school at 16 to pursue his career. He made his debut in a summer stock production of "Bye-Bye Birdie" and, at 18, landed a role in the Broadway production of "Grease." Here, he and his sister, Ellen, hold "Grease" Playbills at the Royale Theater in New York.
