playing the role is one thing, being able to dance like that is another. cant fake that
He's the absolute opposite of Tony Manero and that's why he's so electric and magnetic in that role. Still one of the top ten films of the 70s for sure.
Not really remember John came from a tight knit Italian family who he loved even when he ventured out on his own!
I was 6 years old when I first saw this movie and always loved it and the sequel that I especially appreciate as Tony and everyone touched my life then and always will, the soundtracks as well! ❤
It's always a shock, even though it shouldn't be a surprise to us, when actors are very different from their notable character roles in real life :) One couldn't accuse him of simply 'playing himself' as many actors are.
Great interview
3:17 yeah he went on to make a shitty sequel 🕺!!
I think what makes this interview so enjoyable to watch is the humility of John Travolta and the courtesy of Mercy Sandberg-Wright. Excellent post
25:24 agree! Ty for posting - I think John Travolta is one of the most under rated actors of our time ! - great interview!!
Yes
Didn't ya know she's British? From the Isle of Sandberg. No wait. Swedish. 19:13
John has always been a genuinely kind guy.
I thought the same. John is low key here and seems to meet the same 'vibe' as the interviewer. Not full of ego. Not on his own agenda. Nice to see.
1977 was such a fun year!
But Elvis died that year 😢
True I arrive to the USA in April 1977 at the age of 5 and a half. At that time I didn't know who was Elvis. Probably still don't really.
@@hamadhaider8322 Our crowd didn't really care much for Elvis so it didn't blemish the year at all
Not if you were 8!
The amount of great movies that came out around that time...
Close Encounters, Star Wars, Jaws, Smokey and the Bandit, Bad News Bears, Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Halloween, Amityville Horror, Rocky, Apocalypse Now, Meatballs, etc, etc. Great movie era
Travolta and the Bee Gees must be one of the greatest pairings in motion picture history!
Cause they all had brothers they were close to!
💯
No joke
They compliment each other and that's why the film was such a hit 🤩💎🎶
DEFINITELY
What a great interview. She asked the questions, he was allowed to answer them without interruptions. Today’s interviewers are not a patch on this lady.
You're correct. However we have to realize how bipolar, ADD, ADHD, caffeinated etc...... factors into our current present global lives.
Yes, I enjoyed that she lets him answer without interrupting or cutting him off. There is a calm spaciousness to the interview. And her questions were good and interesting. Definitely an interview of a non-sound byte, adhd world for sure.
@jamesrkarolchyk1440 Things are so far gone from those days. People who weren’t alive then have no idea what they missed. How much more civilized and intelligent things were then. It’s more than sad. It’s depressing.
You are spot on. Nowadays the media and its reporters are way too anxious during interviews and they constantly rush them in order to "entertain" the audience. A terrible habit that is now the norm.
Back then, people were genuinely nice, had good manners, and were generally happy. There were no hidden agendas, just a regular interview.
John has always been so thoughtful and authentic
I agree.
Do you mean high on craaaaack?
Typical Aquarius always out for humanity with a caring nature!
Great late 1970’s interview. Thanks for posting. This interview took place right when the movie was released in December 1977. I thought the interviewer the woman was very professional and good. She was low key but personable and asked good questions to a young John Travolta. I thought Travolta was authentic and answered the questions in a thoughtful intelligent way.
I completely agree. This was a very good interview with thoughtful questions and answers and everything is focused on his art. All too often today, the interviewers are either trying to be comedians or bordering on the edge of offence with their questions.
My thoughts exactly
his son was great in pulp fiction
@@6AlphaMikeCharlie9 ?
@@6AlphaMikeCharlie9 never heard of his son playing in that movie
A gem! John shows his talent as a great communicator, the lady asks many interesting questions. Thank you for posting!
I Am 67 Young & I Never Get Tired Of The Movie Or The Music😊Luv John Travolta The Bee Gees & The Whole Disco Era❤Wish We Could Go Back/Happier Times😊Thanks For Sharing❤
*he was drop dead gorgeous😮*
Well, That was enjoyable. Great Interview by that young lady. John was sweet and nice.
My mother was sitting in the San Luis Obispo, CA train station waiting to pick up my grandmother who was traveling down from Carmel. The station was a small depot. There was only one other person in the depot and it was John Travolta. He introduced himself to my mother and they sat and chatted about this and that and the script he was studying and then my mother showed him pictures of her daughters from her wallet. She said he was very kind and had beautiful blue eyes.
What year was this? That's an awesome story
Golly he was so gorgeous then, and seems like a kind person.
So cool! Saturday Night Fever is one of my top 20 films of all time. A real treat to view an ultra rare alternate take of Travolta's solo dance scene. What a great 1-2-3 punch with Carrie in 1976 then Saturday Night Fever in 1977 then Grease in 1978! Blow Out came out the year I was born in 1981 and that is one of my favorites as well.
She is pure 1977
This is when people were actually soft spoken in interviews.. It's just the way it was back then. Everybody was very soft spoken and very polite to one another
Yes. Just like the song Gentle on My Mind by Elvis.
Yes it feels like todays talk show hosts are impatient, sarcastic, self serving, very little attention span and no genuine interest or knowledge of their guests.
So true.
Did any of yall even see the movie? Theyre swearing theyre racist and they even rape women with no afterthought the 70s were filthy
When respect existed
I have been a John Travolta fan from the day I saw him on Welcome Back Kotter. He is so handsome, talented and a real Superstar. Wishing you and your family all the very best in life. Thank you John for all the wonderful movies you made. I know one day there is an Oscar waiting for you.
Annette...
Cigarette?
(sorry, I couldn't help myself)
Jhon didn't have a clue how successful grease was gonna be in the next year from this interview to make him a mega star ✨
Well I think Olivia contributed to his stardom in Greese. She was older and very tender and caring toward John.
Yeah, what would Travolta have been without Olivia Newton John. @@mrs.847
I mean this movie made him a megastar. This was the 4th highest grossing movie of 1977.
Travolta what an incredible performance!
Duh
The interview is so soothing lol
You don't know soothing until you've watched it in ultra slow motion.
When a movie has that many iconic songs it is certain to be a hit
You have a point. Should a movie be known for it's iconic music or something else?
@@ManChan-w5peither or both ✅️
He brought 3 genres to trending at different times.
Disco in the 70's, 50's in Grease, and Country music in Urban Cowboy. His dance in Pulp Fiction was pretty great, also.
You can tell dancing came natural to John. He is so sweet and humble, and shy in this interview.
Yeah, in this interview. Then watch what happens when he walks out the door.
IMO "Saturday Night Fever" is one of the best films of the '70s. It conquered the improper stigma of being a "disco movie" and now rightfully is recognized as a very poignant and hardcore New York City drama.
That extended dance scene is magical.
I wish they kept it uncut for the final release.
Yes they should have kept it in the film ummmm just watching him dance oh man so sexy 🤗😍🤩🥰
didt they release a blu ray directors cut a few years back might be n their
First time seeing this clip they submitted for the interview. What’s so impressive is that it’s a full master shot with no edits! I believe this is a slightly different take showing a couple different moves.
Yes, a lot of us women agree with that@@lizkozlowski9358
John is so soft spoken what a TALENTED Remarkable Man even today..He sure deserves all the Praise,Glory and recognition..What a TALENTED ACTOR and a Very nice Man..I LOVE JOHN..🥰💘😘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👏👏
He reminds me so much of Tom Selleck also an Aquarius.
You girls realize the two men are still around and looking good. Mrs. Eastwood & Brenda'Lancour. That's quite the calling card. @@mrs.847
It seems like yesterday, when this movie changed my life. I was exactly 19 years old just like the character, and yes, I dressed like this and had a DA haircut. Even the Jewelry. And the platform shoes, until I got my Capezios. I also drank seven and seven and hung around a bunch of crazy friends. And we ate burgers at the same White Castle.
The great times I had, will never be matched by anyone today. I danced all over New York, and New Jersey. I danced in Florida Discos and in Acapulco, Mexico. I was at most of all the top clubs in Manhattan. Clubs like The Fun House, Electric Circus, Adams Apple, The Red Parrot, Limelight, Studio 54, Regines, New York New York, Chevys, Bonds, Magique, Shout, and Roseland. In fact I met Madame Regine the owner of Regines. What a classy woman. She asked me how I liked her place. She just recently passed away.
And one of the owners of the Fun House, who was gay tried to pick me up in Fort Lauderdale. This was the disco that Madonna was dating the DJ. He sent two of his boys to ask me to have a drink with him. When I explained to him that I was straight, he asked me that I was familiar to him. I stated that I went to his club a lot, and that's how he knew me. So what does he do. He tries to set me up on a date with France Joli. You remember her with her hit, Come to Me. Yeah dumb me, I didn't go on the date since I was seeing someone.
But there were other discos in other parts of the city I liked to visit, like Elephas, Lemon Tree, Plaza Suite, Romeo and Juliets, Banana's, L' Amour, The Arena and yes 2001 Odyssey. When I wanted to dance Latin, Side Street in The Bronx and Ochentas in Manhattan were my choices. The Jersey Shore had some nice discos too. Montego Bay, Casablanca, D'Jais, Surf Club, Temptations and The Sundance were my place to go. But I did have a personal favorite in the Bronx, called Strawberries Disco. It became like one of two home discos for me. Everyone knew me here. And yes, I had a girl wipe the sweat off my forehead after dancing. I even had two older nurses both proposed marriage to me. And a big limo one night stopped there and a man asked the coat check lady about me, but I wasn’t there. She told me the next night.
But there were two other areas that I have to mention, since they also had some of the greatest discos. Westchester County and Long Island was rich with discos. Discos like Hoops, 2nd Floor, Fonzies, Lallipop, The Riviera, Peach Trees, Fudgies, January's, Marty and Lenny's, 21 North and The Milky Way In Westchester. And in Long Island, the list was too long for me to list. These were my favorites. Cherry's was like my other home disco. I dated the hottest waitress here, so I knew everyone there. She was my Stephanie. She also wanted to be an actress, and she was some dancer. Her mom was in the TV business as a hair stylist. My first real love. She broke my heart just like in the movie. Also, The Trammps performed there regularly, and were a bunch of nice guys. One New Years Eve, the stage almost collapsed from how crowded it was. I was dancing right next to them.
Other disco's like Uncle Sams, Metro 700, La'tique, Chaz, 231, Zachary's, Channel 80 and my Hampton's favorites La'Plaz and Lemans gave me great memories. And let us not forget about Summers Beach, Hot Dog Beach and Neptune Beach. Nothing better to not only dance at the bar, but bring Pina Colada's to the beach.
There were so many discos in the late 1970's and early 1980's. I had a disco for every night even on Monday. I still remember watching the movie. What a great thing for the young generation, as this movie just pushed young people to dance. There was nothing better than to do the Hustle, with a dance partner, girlfriend or even a stranger that you just met. I remember dancing the Hustle, with two young women at the Copacabana Club at the same time. it seemed like we danced together for years. And I remember like it was yesterday, after we ended our dance to Barry Manilow's Copacabana, how they looked dumbfounded. They asked me who was I. And I stated Tony. We actually got an ovation from the crowd. You will never see that today. I watch young people today, who can't get off their cell phones, and who is just not in good shape for their age. This disturbs me. I would never trade those days with the present. I continued to dance, and was invited on a local dance show on TV, The Soap Factory Dance Show, after being seen by a female employee of the show. She stated her boss, who was the producer, needed to watch me dance, and she later became my dance partner. Unfortunately she hurt her back and couldn't continue. I then became a regular dancer for the show. I was put with the cute twins to dance with. That was in 1978, and I met the likes of Blondie, Musique, Melba Moore, Karen Young, Amii Stewart, Anita Ward, Patrick Hernandez, A young Stephanie Mills, and Peaches and Herb. In fact, RUclips now has some videos of those shows. And in the video of Karen Young singing Hot Shot, I was dancing the hustle, on the left side on the stage with my partner. And in other videos on RUclips I am dancing with the cute twins. What great times.
Even after the show was replaced, I continued to Dance, by going to Fred Astaire Studios, so to learn some dances from the old days. I remember walking up the stairs to the studio, and being met by the most beautiful blonde young lady I had ever seen. And I still remember dancing with her, since she wanted to check out my skills. And my God, we were both made for each other. It was effortless, and she was so beautiful. We had incredible chemistry together. Unfortunate for me it was her last week since she was going to dance in a Broadway Show. But she then introduced me to the owner, in her own right was a super looking blonde older lady. So she wanted to see for herself what her instructor was so excited about. So she wanted me to dance with another instructor, so to see what kind of dancer I was. After my audition, she offered me a contract to be a dance instructor instead, which I had to turn down due to I just bought my own business. So again, I was dancing ballroom, in such places like The Waldorf Astoria, The Playboy Club in Great Gorge, NJ and at The Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, Florida. The friends that I made because of my dancing, was priceless. Friends from all over............New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Florida, Michigan and Philadelphia. To have the times I had with these great people were incredible.
And yes, my name is really Tony and 100% Italian American. But my family only called me Anthony. And yes, people start identifying me as Tony Manero, after they watched me dance. I would start and the floor would clear for me. And I did win a dance trophy which I still have from a disco. But I would never wear that white suit. And at my wedding, the D.J and band I had, played music from Saturday Night Fever, and I was introduced as Tony, and performed a solo routine in front of 350 guests. I hope this wasn't too long for some, but when I think of those days, it brings a smile to my face. And I wish the young people of today could of had that those great times.
And Thank You Mr. Travolta for doing a great job as Tony Manero. And to the writers who wrote the screenplay which was so strange how it was so similar to myself, and the disco life. And I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife Kelly who was one lovely lady. And for your loss of your son. May they both Rest In Peace.🙏🙏🙏
I really enjoyed reading this, Tony. Thank you!❤
Bro u need to write an article or book about those days, that was intriguing, thank u sir ❤
I read the whole thing. It was very interesting. I lived it on a much smaller scale but just enough to relate.
Write a book T!
Your name is really Tony? OK. Not to one-up you. But my parents were the toast of the great white way, and actually named me Broadway Bleau.
The lady's hairdo and glasses and just genius!! everything about her look is amazing.
Ken Barlow's wife dierdrie lol especially with those glasses 👍🤗😁
She fully represented the times with that look
Joe Tubens was responsible for the hair designs in Saturday night fever 👍😘😁
@@Tiffany.1970 it's in reference to the this interview though
@@keelawalker7336 Not really
Glad to come across this interview one of my favourite films of all time .
My disco dancing days around Scotland will be with me till my time on earth is done .
Thanks to disco dancing for enriching my life .
"Thanks to disco dancing for enriching my life." Typical Scots. You don't care about the dancing. Only the money.
@@Frip36
What a stupid reply 🙄
@@Frip36 Lol
@@Frip36 are you English
Travolta is one cool humble cat!!
A very good interview and you can tell travolta appreciated the genuine questions and not the typical bs questions. Very awesome interview
Interesting.
fantastic time capsule
Travolta had just lost his love Diana Hyland nine months ago. The scene of him tearing up at the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in the movie was his grief caught on film.
He does look so sad too , it was not long after Diana hyland passed away 🥺☹️
She passed away before this interview in March 1977
He seems like he’s quite subdued, and also sweetly shy. But I feel that loss.
As I recall, his girlfriend was much older than him….in her 40’s I think😢😢
I was 14 when SNF came out. My friends & I have already seen the movie. The 2nd time, we wanted to go see it, but were not allowed to bc we were underage! Lol Everything about the movie brings back so many memories. The music was outstanding & put the Bee Gees on the map. Love John's shyness here!!
@@deniseburnside I'm so sorry about the Big Nickel. We are the same age. Time sure goes by fast!
I'm shyer and now that he's old I can dance better than him too.
That old adage is true: some things just never go out of style....
This is and WAS our life back in the 70's, nothing like today with your cell phones glued to your eyes while you are driving or doing anything. No computers or the interweb. DISCO was IT!!! and i still love it. Laid back times and nothing to worry about but going out to the discos on Saturday nights.. I mean how do you think they came up with the movie name? Saturday night was Disco Night Period! and going to movies was for Friday nights, i will always remember going to the first showing that night of this movie and dressed in our silky disco shirts and wooden heeled dress shoes. LOL.. how exciting it was going back to see it again a few more times. John always talked like this off set, he's a gentleman and was raised as such. Look at all the hit movie posters, they are still all hits to this date. If i could come back again i would want the 70's forever. Thanks, John for doing this movie and for the memories!
Just found this so happy love the movie Saturday fever n John Travolta as Tony manero xx😀👍🤩😍
Love the uncut dance scene !
Me too.
It's too bad that it was cut down a bit since Paramount didn't want the running time of the film to be slightly over 2 hours long, and yet it's still a marvel that Travolta mastered those moves for the filming of the scene.
So happy I found this interview!! I've been a fan of John Travolta since "Welcome back Kotter" and when Saturday Night Fever came out, I was only 11 years old, so I wasn't allowed to see it in the movies until they cut it to a PG rating and they showed it with my ultimate favorite movie "GREASE"!! I'm 56 years old now and when I watch these two iconic movies it always brings a smile to my heart and spring in my step!
Me too! I just commented that this interview was done a day before my 11th birthday 😃
🙋🏽♀️ I was 11 yrs old and it was all everyone was taking about and I remember telling my dad I wanted to see it and he was like absolutely not!! I had no idea. All I knew was the dancing. Lol
What a handsome Travolta 🙌 younger
I have a coworker who looks similar to him then. Wowza.
4:15 seeeeeshhh 😩
Travolta gave an electric performance in this film. He had the talent, look, age, charisma, etc..at the right time. The stars aligned.
And who aligned all those stars? ME!
This interview was one day before my 11th birthday! It's so crazy because I was a huge fan of both SNF and Grease. What a cool interview!🥰
16 years later Quentin gives him his holy grail chance of a lifetime, and he delivers 👏
Another editing of the dance scene with bonus choreography! Unseen before ! Many thanks, end of 77 and you can see a film poster for Grease already!
this interview is not from 1977, behind Travolta you can see the poster of the film Grease shot in 1978. The interview is probably from 1979.
Grease was recorded in the summer of 1977 @@MrItaliano1900
Really enjoyed watching this - thanks!
My parents love the Bee Gees, and so did I. I had bought their greatest hits album. After 9/11 I couldn't get my mom to turn off the TV. So, I played this CD. Staying Alive was the first song. We lived in the DC Metro area. I went to see my niece at her school, they did a little exercise routine to, you guessed it... Staying Alive. I guess this movie made us all feel like New Yorkers. Maybe it was a more simpler time. But, everyone was thinking about Saturday Night Fever.
The Bee Gees and John Travolta what a perfect pair...my love for Travolta goes way back and I love all his movie's...when he was young he had such a boyish charm that was so appealing...he has always been handsome and such a talent as an actor and dancing...❤
John's screen presence has always been undeniable. Even though he became a huge star thanks to *Saturday Night Fever* I always felt he should've been a bigger star. Like how his star diminished throughout the 80's when in all honesty he should've been one of, if not the biggest star of the 1980's. I enjoy his 80's filmography over his 70's filmography. The depth to films like *Perfect* & *Blowout* are absolutely stellar.
Why’d his career dry out in the 80s?
I loved that movie Blowout.
Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Urban Cowboy, the greatest 3 picture start in motion picture history. Travolta turned down An Official and a Gentleman which was a huge mistake.
@@polishherowitoldpilecki5521 Bad choices, Travolta turned down An Official and a Gentleman and American Gigolo yet chose to do a terrible movie with Lily Tomlin. It's been said that Richard Gere owes his career to John Travolta.
It was his fault he did turn down OFFICER & GENTLEMEN.
Yeah, that look was verrrry mid 70s. She really has it dialed in. Huge glasses, peasant blouse and wedge haircut. My older sister and her friends all looked like this.
That’s a pageboy haircut.
Wedge looks like a literal wedge where it’s cut short at the nape/base of the neck line and is left longer as you go upwards. You can see a difference in length/the wedge at the nape.
Dorthy Hamill had a wedge cut…rounded shape around face (not curled under) and feathered out at the ends.
Pageboy is rounded cut and curled under with no wedge. Often layered/sheered/textured with shorter lengths on top just near the ends to help curl hair under.
The hairstyle is called the mushroom style
He is so gorgeous! When I was a pre teen I was in love with John and Leif Garrett. I had to beg for my father to let me save up to buy this poster of John with TRAVOLTA across in huge letters. Other than that I was not allowed to put up any other guys I was into, it was forbidden! For all the Dad's out there Don't be weirdo control freaks with your children because it hurts YOU in the long run.
HE had such a beautiful head of hair!!!!!
Don't touch the hair!
Thanks a lot for posting this interview, really interesting dance & music forever
In questa intervista si può notare che Jhon Travolta parla che sembra triste, e il motivo c'era perché in quello stesso hanno in cui giro il film della febbre del sabato sera perse la sua prima fidanzata l'attrice Diana Hyland a causa di un cancro al seno, Jhon Travolta non solo un grandissimo attore ma anche un grande uomo con un coraggio straordinario Jhon meriti tutta la mia stima ❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍
Parla che sembra triste?
Looking for Mr.Goodbar movie poster in the background and Saturday Night Fever as well!!! OH MY GOD!!! Fun fact, Looking for Mr.Goodbar was released in October 1977, two months before Fever. Two grossing box office R-rated movies!!!
Two of the best soundtrack albums of all time! Unbelievable year for movies with kick ass music.
she's serious...lol... 70s' fashion, such a crack up!!
The movie opened 12/12/77
12/16/1977 actually.
@@annieg1812 16th nationwide
Favorite movie of all time saw it 18 times when came out
Really interesting. Thank you so much for this.
What I don't understand is how come there's a "Grease" poster on the background, which was released only in June 1978. Is the date on this correct?
How handsome is he , his dancing is great , how well spoken is he and he seems very gentle also .xx
yooo look at his eyes, he is Lit.....he is lit beyond lit.
Yeah I noticed that too.
Travolta is obviously very intelligent and conscientious. He speaks about his careful screening of scripts and choice of projects. Yet after rising to be the biggest movie star in the world after Grease, immediately after that he chose to do the wretched "Moment by Moment," which severely stained his reputation at the time. It was a truly awful piece of work. Why would he have chosen such a stinker?
Fame does wicked things to the mind. Plus you got bunch of people feeding you false notions like, "If you don't make a movie every six months they forget you exist! The public has a short memory."
He was so Gorgeous..my first love ..Lovely memories..
I used to fantasize that I was him so I could seduce my woman. I had to become him to accomplish this since I was eight and the woman was my second grade teacher.
They have the Grease poster behind John but it hadn’t been released yet
Cause he had already filmed both of those movies Saturday night fever and grease back to back from March 1977 to may 77 for fever,then grease started filming June 1977,so by the time he did this interview he was done with both.
❤What an extremely intelligent, hard-working, humble man who continues to go far in his career!!
He is the REAL DEAL❤
Awesome interview!! Thanks
John looks like he don't really feel like talking or is high or both lol I don't care though I love all his movie's and he's such a good actor I always loved him 🤗😍❤️🤍💙🤩🥰
I saw Saturday Night
Fever 4 times on the big screen. It was mesmerizing. Great low-key interview here, showing what a great actor John Travolta is; nothing like Tony Manero, as you'd half expect him to be in person. I remember watching a 'SNF' preview show before the movie's release that featured The Bee Gees, and Andy Gibb singing, 'Thicker Than Water'. They showed that solo dance by Tony and I thought, "Must see!!!"
Johnny should have won the Academy Award for Best Actor for this.
Yeah, Best Actor for this interview.
Her hairstyle, glasses, blouse, I'm glad some of the 70s fashions moved on.
The 70s can't identify itself without Travolta somewhere in the picture. He's the guy we guys all wanted to be....at least back then lol 😆...but he still is a cool and charming person. Intelligent, charismatic and strong...kinda a more feminant Stallone... the 70s was sure a good time for Italian Americans.
And sucked for us pale skinny freckled redheaded Scots. I'll never forgive the Italians.
You want to scream at John , "Don't do Moment By Moment! It'll be a trainwreck! Do American Gigolo instead, stay with it no matter what!"
John practically gave Richard Gere a film career. He left American Gigolo for some reason and he turned down An Officer and a Gentlemen. Even though Gere was great in both, I always wanted to see what Travolta would have done with the roles.
Wow! I never knew that. And you are right. He would have been brilliant in both!👍🏽
I love trevolta’s suit.
the movie is pretty dark towards the end really felt authentic
Does anyone thinks he sounds like Michael Jackson ?..so young
I drove stoned thru a snow storm to see that movie.
Those glasses are too small
😂
Shit 😂😂😂😂
😂
Yep. They're microscopic. 😂
Her glasses, hair, and blouse are amazing…..
Great interview
Didn’t know how grounded John Travolta really is
He was sexy as hell. I can't!😂
Nice raw dance shot. I have never seen that
omg that woman. what is she wearing. is it halloween time.
for those of us that were teenagers at the time and used to rush home from school to watch welcome back kotter, it was amazing to see travoltas transformation from Vinnie Barbarino to this character in such a great movie of music and dance.
Totally can see Deney Terrio! Remember Dance Fever???!!!! Yes!
Omg i love the interviews EVEYRTHING. The glasses, fit, and hair. Omg I love it
I am 28 years old and I dress like this. I just love old fashion and others around me love it too!
@@latinadavis3691 i just know you a vibe then. People who dress like this KNOW style!!
What a great interview. She asked the questions, he was allowed to answer them without interruptions. Today’s interviewers are not a patch on this lady.
John is a legend ❤....Respect!!
You can tell he was a Good kid! 💯
Holy crap look at her glasses 🤣
It shot John Travolta to super stardom! Excellent very informative interview. He is able to give every detail to the questions asked. No politics. What a breath of fresh air to the what we have today. Hollywood has become crap now. Pushing immoral objectives. It is a very sad situation.
Nice interview!
I’ll never forget where I was when this dropped
John should of gone onto films as big as Fever and Grease but he didn't ,urban cowboy was a hit and Staying Alive but that was it for a long time,he was offerd Officer and a gentleman but said no, if any star was meant to be number one it was Travolta, the eighties should of been the Travolta years, with a big hit every year,I think he chose the wrong films, moment by moment was slaughtered, blowout was depressing, and two of a kind lousy, compared to what he could of done, his impact between Fever and Grease was astounding if you were not around then to wouldn't fully comprehend it ,he was the most famous person on the Planet, ever beyound even Elvis for a while,
Yep. The 80's wrecked most anyone from the 70's. It strove to be the opposite of everything 70's.
BOY WHAT A GREAT INTERVIEW! HE EARLY ON SAW THE POTENTIAL OF THE PIC! I BET THOUGH HE NEVER FORSAW THE CONSTANT REFERENCES 2 HIS ROLE YEARS LATER!😮😊😊
The interviewer was so furious that her larger glasses were not yet ready, she almost cancelled the interview.

What a great interview of John Travolta!

Travolta is a Great Dancer.🎉🎉🎉
