Kelly Preston Detailed Biography -

On October 13, 1962, the world said aloha to Kelly Preston (nee Palzis) who was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Preston's biological father drowned when she was only three years old and her mother, a mental health administrator, married Peter Palzis (and eventually divorced in 1976). The future model/actress majored in drama at the University of Southern California when she was growing up. This sexy blonde actress has shown comic flair in a handful of films, notably Secret Admirer Mischief (both 1985), and Only You (1992) and was well cast as an alluring witch in Spellbinder (1988), but she has spent most of her time in potboilers. She finally got a break, playing Arnold Schwarzenegger's love interest in Twins (1988), but it didn't lead to better parts, or better films. The Experts (1989) was deemed so bad by its studio that it didn't receive theatrical release at all, but it did serve to introduce Preston to John Travolta, who married her. Her other credits include Christine (1983), 52 Pick-Up, SpaceCamp (both 1986), Love at Stake (1987), Run (1990, as a brunette), Arthur Miller's "The American Clock" (1993 telefilm), and Love Is a Gun (1994)
