Does John Travolta live in Florida?
I went snorkeling in crystal river last week and our guide said that he might have bought one. What a beautiful house it was! I was jealous.
That is true. We have family right on Kings Bay. However when we were there 2 weeks ago, the lot where Travolta's house is being built was still a dirt hole. There wasn't a house up yet. So maybe there is confusion as to where this house is going to be. Everyone is guessing.
Who played Danny Zuko on Grease in Broadway?
Okay... So I don't know the year just yet but I am getting warmer... I just found this clip of the "Ã Love NY" ad campaign from the early 80's for promoting Broadway musicals and P. Swayze is featured. He slides into frame hops on the hood of the car and then runs a comb through his hair. It comes a few bits in after the cast of "The Wiz" is shown.
Anyway... I remember these ads from when I was growing up in NY. This ad has to predate 1984... I would say he was cast in GREASE sometime during 1980 to '83'.
Here's the ad:
