Early life

Travolta was born in Englewood, New Jersey. The daughter of Salvatore Travolta and Helen Cecilia née Burke, she grew up as one of six children, the others being John, Joey, Ellen, Ann, and Sam. Her father was a semi-professional football player turned tire salesman and partner in a tire company,[1] and her mother was a former actress, director and singer who had appeared in The Sunshine Sisters, a radio vocal group. Helen Travolta later became a high school drama and English teacher. Margaret Travolta's father was a second-generation Italian American and her mother was Irish American;[2][3] her family was Catholic.[4] At a very early age Margaret was influenced by her mother's involvement in local theater and her sister Ellen's success on stage. While attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, Travolta supported herself by performing in children's theater, waiting tables, and singing in cabarets.^{[citation needed]}
