    Kelly Preston went to the same private high school as Obama. Punahou.

    Travolta's 1976-77 girlfriend also died of breast cancer. Diana Hyland.

    She wasn't just John Travolta's wife, she had her own successful career.

    Supreme Court just upheld firing of an employee due to breast cancer. The court held teachers in religious schools don't have civil rights protection including Americans with Disabilities Act. Aside from shaky legal ground, could someone kindly explain to me why it is Christian to fire a woman because she has breast cancer?

    Because religion is a big business and the conservative SCOTUS puts business over people.

    Preston was extremely underrated as an actress, ironically because she was so good at portraying her characters as real people just like people we all know. You forget she's acting. Her performance in Jerry McGuire was one of the best supporting actress roles I've seen. I like most of John Travolta's films but he could never make me forget I was watching a movie.
