UPDATED 6/2/21 John Travolta's daughter, Ella Bleu, always kind of knew she'd follow in the footsteps of her famous parents and delve into the acting business. At 19 years old, she is doing just that! “Since I was very little, I’ve loved performing, singing, dancing and putting on shows at home for my family and friends,” she told PEOPLE magazine. Even when Ella was a little girl, her homespun plays were mandatory for her parents to attend. “In our house in Maine we have this stage area set up with a little red curtain and my friends and I would perform there…We did (everything), from the Hulk to Christmas shows and one year we all played different ‘Housewives of Maine,'” Ella explained.
