One of the most adored stars of our time began as a "sweathog". John Travolta's initial memorable role that launched him into the consciousness of America was playing "Vinnie Barbarino" on "Welcome Back, Kotter" from 1975 to 1979. Since that time he has become one of the finest stars of our time.
In one of his initial movie roles, John Travolta played a young disco dancer named Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever. This was in 1977, the pinnacle of the disco era. In the story, Tony meets another dancer named Stephanie and they practice together to compete in a dance competition.
