Asked in John Travolta
Did John Travolta dance at Gruene Hall?
In the movie, Michael, John Travolta gets in a bar fight on his
way to Chicago at a bar named Joe's after he dances with all the
women in the scene. That bar was Gruene Hall. So yes, John Travolta
danced at Gruene Hall. I only answered this because I was watching
the movie on HBO and couldn't help but notice how familiar that
'bar' looked. So I checked it up on imdb.com for filming location.
Gruene Hall is a dancehall in Gruene, New Braunfels, Texas.

Asked in John Travolta
Did John Travolta play the character Fonz?
Travolta played the character Danny in the 1978 musical Grease.
Like the Fonz, Danny wore a black leather jacket over a white
T-shirt, had thick, bushy hair, was quite popular with the ladies
and was considered very "cool" by his male peers. Also, Grease,
like Happy Days, was set in the 'Fifties. I used to confuse the two
characters too, so you're not alone!
