John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta, has made a name for herself in Hollywood.
Ella made her acting debut in the 2009 movie Old Dogs alongside her dad. After a 10-year break, she returned to the screen in 2019’s The Poison Rose and hasn’t stopped since.
The father-daughter duo collaborated once again in the 2026 movie Propeller One-Way Night Coach, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival. Ella starred as a flight attendant in the movie, which her father narrated and directed.
“I had this plan of introducing Ella to the world as an adult in this very Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly kind of way,” John said during a May 2026 appearance on Today. “I did everything I could to really set the scene for this kind of introduction, and it’s made a big impact so far. I’m so proud of her.”

During the same interview, Ella praised her father’s “natural” directing skills.
“It was so inspiring and so incredible because he had the whole film, all the music, all the shots, everything in his head beforehand,” she recalled. “We went to the TWA terminal together, and we filmed the whole beginning of the movie on an iPhone, and I stood in for all the characters, and he edited it.”
She added, “He just knew exactly what he wanted to accomplish, and he achieved that incredibly.”
