Look Who's Talking
In 1989, Travolta starred with Kirstie Alley in "Look Who's Talking", which grossed $297 million, making it his most successful film since "Grease". He subsequently starred in "Look Who's Talking Too" (1990) and "Look Who's Talking Now" (1993), but it was not until he played Vincent Vega in Quentin Tarantino's hit "Pulp Fiction" (1994), with Samuel L. Jackson, for which he received an Academy Award nomination, that his career was revived. The movie shifted him back onto the A-list and he was inundated with offers. Notable roles following "Pulp Fiction" include a movie-buff loan shark in "Get Shorty" (1995), "White Man's Burden" (1995), a corrupt U.S. Air Force pilot in "Broken Arrow" (1996), an FBI agent and terrorist in "Face/Off" (1997), a desperate attorney in "A Civil Action" (1998), a Bill Clinton–esque presidential candidate in "Primary Colors" (1998), and a military investigator in "The General's Daughter" (1999).
