Most actors don't go through as many career transformations as John Travolta has. We got to know him as Danny in 'Grease,' and then he took his movie-musical talents to the next level in 'Saturday Night Fever.' Nobody back then would have looked at the sprightly Travolta and thought 'He'll make the perfect movie hitman one day,' but that's exactly what we got when he was cast as the iconic Vincent Vega in Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction.'
Of all the transformations Travolta has gone through, though, the one which saw him play a woman in 'Hairspray' was surely the most extreme. Travolta bulked up as well as changing sex, which meant that he became almost unrecognizable in the part. There's still something about his facial features that gives him away, even under all those prosthetics. He may not have made a convincing woman, but he certainly put his whole heart into it.
