Kelly Preston Career

Preston had a successful career in both film and television, and she even occasionally acted alongside her husband in movies. They raised a brood of three kids together. During Preston and Travolta’s pregnancy with their first child, Jett, they married in a Parisian chapel at midnight in 1991.

After suffering a seizure in the family’s Bahamas holiday house in January 2009, 16-year-old Jett Travolta tragically passed away. A court battle was sparked by the death when an ambulance driver and his lawyer were accused of attempting to extort $25 million from the actors by threatening to reveal private details about the actor’s son’s death.

Preston and Travolta first worked together on the 1988 picture “The Experts.” In the 2018 film “Gotti,” in which Travolta played mob boss John Gotti and Preston played Gotti’s wife, Victoria, they last appeared on screen together.
