Celebrity careers are like heartbeats. Some move at a consistent rhythm, with strong steady beats. Some feel occasional palpitations: moments of blockbuster success. Then there are those random murmurs, beats that are neither strong nor weak, movies that are neither good nor bad, but show that a body — or career — still has a pulse. But, sadly, every career seems to have its moment of flat-lining. Only a lucky few can be revived by the great defibrillators that swoop in and breathe life back into a dying career. John Travolta is legendary for his near-career-death experiences. One of the sexiest men alive in the late 1970s, John soon after made some devastating career choices, packed on a few extra pounds, and suddenly was a has-been. Until Quentin Tarantino cast him in "Pulp Fiction," he seemed destined to a life of talking baby movies. But could Quentin keep the original JT on track? His latest effort — providing the voice for a dog in the animated film "Bolt" that opens today — could get his career racing again. But Travolta has surprised us before. Check out the dizzying highs and devastating lows in our John Travolta Career EKG.
