'Pulp Fiction,' 'Grease' Star Latest Huge Addition To Celebrity Roster at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
ROSEMONT, Ill. - eTradeWire -- With a career that has spanned more than four decades, including some of the most iconic films and television programs in history, John Travolta is a Hollywood superstar of the highest degree. Now fans will have the opportunity to meet him as he makes his Wizard World debut on Saturday, August 24, at Wizard World Chicago. The Pulp Fiction, Grease, Get Shorty, Look Who's Talking, Saturday Night Fever and "Welcome Back, Kotter" headliner will greet fans, sign autographs, pose for photo ops and conduct an interactive Q&A panel during the 22nd annual event, set for August 22-25 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.
Travolta rose to fame with his portrayal of student Vinnie Barbarino in "Welcome Back, Kotter," and shot up to icon status as Tony Manero in the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, Danny in Grease (1978) and Bud in 1980's Urban Cowboy. He found a new generation of fans a decade later, as James in Look Who's Talking. Since then, lead roles in Pulp Fiction (1994), Get Shorty (1995), A Civil Action (1998), Battlefield Earth (2000), The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009), Gotti (2018) and dozens of other features have kept him front and center as a top draw. His latest film, The Fanatic, hits theaters on August 30.
