LOS ANGELES — For John Travolta, “icon” will be the word at the Cannes Film Festival.
Trade publication Variety said Friday that Travolta will receive its inaugural Cinema Icon Award at this month’s festival in France.
Travolta received an Oscar nomination for his star-making turn in 1977’s “Saturday Night Fever” and another for 1994’s “Pulp Fiction.”
“Grease,” released in 1978 and starring Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, is among the biggest movie musical hits ever.
Travolta will receive the Cinema Icon Award on May 15, following the premiere at Cannes of his new film, “Gotti.”
