Princess Diana and John Travolta

 

[mudhen]

Oh, that one is too easy! It was all over the papers and tv at the time.

I couldn't remember the date so I got this from on-line:

In 1985 Prince Charles and Princess Diana visited the USA. During this trip a gala dinner was held for them in Washington, hosted by President Reagan and his wife Nancy. The dinner featured entertainment celebrities, which would have been ex film-star Ronald Reagan's way of hosting an event such as this. Bring on the equivalent of American royalty - entertainers! Guests included Eastwood, JohnTravolta, Tom Selleck and singer Neil Diamond as well as politicians and businessmen.

During the gala, First Lady Nancy Reagan took John Travolta aside and informed him that Princess Diana wanted a dance. He asked Princess Di to dance and they did.
The subsequent photographs of the glamorous Princess and romantic lead of such movies as Saturday Night Fever and Grease, made the front page of every newspaper and magazine in the world.

For John Travolta who had been experiencing the rejections of the film industry, this spot light on him and the fact that Princess Di would consider him important enough to wish to dance with him, revived his self-belief in himself. He attributes his resultant soaring film career to this moment in his life.

======================================

OK, how about these two:


Burt Reynolds and Britney Spears

mudhen, i have been searching for awhile, i can't figure out a connection! let us know if after awhile no one else does! ( i knew Diana and JT would be easy

)


Burt Reynolds and Britney Spears

 

[banditgin]

for Kyle and Newt, I was going to try for a reference through Cars (Kyle's dad did the voice of The King).

Burt Reynolds was in Boogie Nights with Heather Graham
Heather Graham was in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged me with Mike Myers
Mike Myers was in Austin Powers: Goldmember with Britney Spears (she either had a very small role/cameo or did a song on the movie)
