After almost 40 years John Travolta shares ‘real’ story behind famous dance with Princess Diana
The evening of November 1985 at the White House, hosted by President Ronald Reagan, was destined to be extraordinary.
Amidst a glittering assembly of celebrities, politicians, business people, and royalty, a moment unfolded that etched itself into history: Princess Diana, known for her grace and charm, danced with actor John Travolta, creating one of the most iconic images of the 1980s.
This memorable moment is explored in the PBS special “In Their Own Words: Diana, Princess of Wales,” which delves into defining moments of her life.
Despite his celebrity status, John Travolta felt out of place among the illustrious guests.
Mustering all his courage, Travolta approached Princess Diana. Filled with nervous anticipation, he found solace in the Princess’s characteristic grace and kindness.
As they took to the dance floor, the room seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in the spotlight.
The dance lasted for what felt like 15 minutes, with their movements in perfect harmony.
Cameras flashed, capturing the moment for posterity. This dance wasn’t just a highlight of the evening but a piece of history celebrated for decades.
