    "The next Jack Nicholson" was slightly optimistic, but Travolta's career ended up much closer to Nicholson's than to those of David Cassidy or Burt Ward.https://twitter.com/RetroNewsNow/status/1212599529645756416 …

        Even though he had that bad decade ahead of him (1981-1991) of dropping to the B-list, by 1980 he'd had far more of a screen career than Cassidy and Ward combined.

        Three things about Travolta. First, he would have had a much better career had his penchant for turning down great projects (Officer and a Gentleman, Splash) and accepting terrible projects (Moment by Moment, Perfect) become Hollywood legend.

        Second, the greatest thing to happen to Travolta was Tarantino, who not only revived his career with a masterpiece, Pulp Fiction, but guided him toward projects (Broken Arrow, Get Shorty) that gave him a great 2nd act. (This last decade I can’t explain.)

        Third, the four movies that define his career—Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Urban Cowboy, and Pulp Fiction—all feature a dance contest. For what it’s worth.
