Ex-Scientologists Discuss John Travolta’s ‘Dark Side,’ ‘True Believer’ Wife

For an article for The Daily Beast published Friday, Dana Kennedy spoke with several high-ranking members of Hollywood’s most high-profile cult about its most high-profile couple: John Travolta and Kelly Preston.

Kennedy details the Travoltas’ “week-long publicity blitz” at Cannes to promote Travolta’s new film, “Gotti,” which provides what some reviewers found to be a surprisingly sympathetic view of infamous crime boss John Gotti, with whom Kennedy obliquely compares Travolta.
