Celebrity Death: Kelly Preston, 57

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Was battling breast cancer for the past two years (and lost, needless to say). May she R.I.P., and as always, f*** cancer.

Oh man, I didn’t even know she was sick. That’s awful news.

This was out of left field, RIP, enjoyed Twins and Jerry McGuire

So pretty.

I'm very sad right now. I had no idea she was sick.

Wow. Travolta's wife, right? She lost a son, I believe.

Yeah, their son died in 2009. They also had a daughter and another son. I believe she and John Travolta were married for close to 30 years.

Damn it. RIP.

f*** cancer.

 

[brokeu91]

I had a childhood crush on her. Damn, cancer really sucks

My first thoughts as well

Elvis Pressley grandson killed himself yesterday as well

 

[ArchAngel55]

Damn. Out of no where. Just watched For Love of the Game yesterday.

They were a long-lasting Hollywood couple. Surely an intensely sad time for Travolta and their two surviving children.

It's long been rumored that Travolta prefers the gents, and that his marriage to Preston was just for show...

Same, that's terrible.

Yeah, it's pretty clear Preston was his beard. He's been fighting those rumors for decades.

Jerry Maguire was one of my favorite movies back in the day, and I always wondered why Preston didn't become a bigger star afterwards...

It just occurred to me that she probably landed that role because of her connection to Cruise through Scientology

Funnily enough, I don’t remember her being in that movie. Then again, it’s been several years since I’ve seen it, so I don’t remember much of it.

I think she basically retired to raise her family. The one son that passed away was autistic.

Autism is so common in 2020. I don't remember anyone having it when I was young.

He had seizures, I remember that. That’s how he died.

[Langdon Alger]

Funny, I have absolutely no memory of this scene at all, and I’ve seen this movie more than once. Then again, the last time I watched is was around 20 years ago, so that might be why I don’t remember it.

I read your post about a 1/2 an hour ago, and decided now that I'm not content without posting a response. I think it's quite disrespectful to insinuate that because he's possibly gay that he won't be very affected by the death of his wife of 29 years and the mother of his children, and that after having his eldest son die just over a decade ago. I'm no big fan of Travolta nor of Kelly, and probably our posts here won't be seen by more than a few people who frequent this board, but still...

To be honest, I don’t think it’s appropriate to be talking about Travolta’s sexuality in this thread anyway. It’s not about that. Even if he is gay, this is about Kelly Preston dying. I suppose it’s inevitable this kind of thing would come up, but I would have been happy if it didn’t.
