Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Ella Bleu Travolta made a rare appearance on the red carpet accompanying her father, John Travolta, as they celebrated the 30th anniversary of the classic film Pulp Fiction.

The duo attended the 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival red carpet on Thursday, April 18, arm and arm. John rocked a pair of blue jeans, a white button-down, and a sleek black sweater and blazer, while Ella turned heads in a chic patterned midi dress, with her dark locks in a wave.

When prompted about her thoughts on the event, Ella answered, “Oh my gosh, it’s surreal.” She continued to tell Entertainment Tonight, “It’s amazing. We’ve been having fun the whole ride over here, so it’s gonna be really nice.”

The actor also disclosed that his daughter wasn’t allowed to watch Pulp Fiction until she turned 18. After finally watching it, he said, “She loved all of it. She’s a film buff. She has good taste in film. She’s got it.”

Ella then chimed in and said, “Obviously, I spent my whole life hearing about it and seeing clips of it, but then when I saw it, it’s a perfect movie. It’s the definition of a perfect movie. It’s inspiring for someone who is aspiring to be an actress.”

John and his late wife, Kelly Preston, who tragically passed away in 2020 at the age of 57 after battling breast cancer, welcomed Ella in 2000. They also share 13-year-old Benjamin and had a son Jett, who died in 2009 at the age of 16.

As for Ella’s career, her talents span modeling, acting, and music. She starred alongside her dad in the film The Poison Rose and recently received a leading role in Get Lost, which is a film inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

On the fashion front, she walked in Karl Lagerfeld’s runway show during New York Fashion Week in 2022. She also dabbled with music after the pandemic and has released two songs, “Dizzy” and “No Thank You”.
