Ella Travolta was born into a family full of actors. Her father, John, is known for his iconic roles in dozens of films, most notably Saturday Night Fever and Quentin Tarantino’s cult classic Pulp Fiction.

John in turn gets his acting talent from his grandmother, Helen Cecilia Travolta, who was an actress and singer who appeared with The Sunshine Sisters, a radio vocal group, before becoming a high school drama and English teacher, according to Celebrity Net Worth. As he is the youngest of six brothers and sisters who all followed acting careers, Ella is also the niece of actors and actresses Ann, Margaret, Ellen, Sam and Joey Travolta.

She has loved acting from a young age
