John Travolta Is 62! See His Best-Ever Film Transformations

With feathered hair and flanneled shirts, Travolta's good looks were on full display for this horror film, which helped launch his career.

Here, Travolta wore slimming bell-bottoms and struck a pose for his role as Tony Manero, the Brooklyn teen who quickly became king of the disco floor.

Just one look at Travolta in that black muscle shirt and it's no wonder Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) fell so hard for Danny Zuko (Travolta) in the film.

In this classic Quentin Tarantino film, Travolta takes on a more masculine role as Vinnie Vega, an American mobster opposite Samuel L. Jackson. 

To say Travolta went all out for this science-fiction film would be an understatement. The actor wore futuristic dress for the movie, which was set in the year 3000. 

Here, Travolta appears noticeably older to play the role of Bobby Long, a former literature professor at Auburn University. With lightened hair and shabby dress, Travolta portrays a man who, despite his own downfalls, introduces a young woman to quality literature and encourages her to earn a high school diploma.

Travolta plays none other than the curvaceous and vivacious Edna Turnblad in Hairspray. The actor's casting as Edna holds true with the musical's original tradition of having a man in drag play the main character's mother.
