Whenever I see her I always think about her role in Twins (pic below) with Arnold and Danny DeVito. I didn't put together until tonight that she was also in Space Camp.
Sine poena nulla lex.
Mrs. Jerry Maguire.
Absolutely gorgeous ta-tas, and she seemed very nice, too.

I just saw this on Twitter.
I had no idea she was sick.
She was th definition of a classic beauty. Just an absolutely gorgeous woman. And from what I've read, she was an even better person.
Travolta has had a rough few years. He lost a child and now his wife. So damn sad.
RIP Ms. Preston.

woke up to this news. at one time she was in my personal opinion the most beautiful woman in the world. and even in recent years was aging so so well.
crazy they were able to keep this a secret for 2 years. I'm at MD Anderson all the time and she was being treated there.

The wife, kid, and I watched For Love of the Game yesterday morning and we ended up talking about her for a bit. Pretty weird to see that headline last night.
Damn. She and Elisabeth Shue were my top two from the 80's. Need to go watch Mischief again.
"I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be."
yeah this was stunning and out of the blue - they were keeping it private.
So sad really.
Not that beauty is everything but I was always just so amazed at her natural striking beauty. And she never was quite that box office draw, always the wife or love interest to someone it seemed but she was always memorable in her scenes and roles.
In retrospect the fact that she had not done anything since 2018 and that was filmed in 2016 to early 2017 should have been a clue. Not that it matters I'm glad it was kept private for her family.

I know her kids had to have appreciated keeping this out of the limelight so every day with mom is a memory of the family
For a long time they lived near Gainesville, thought they still did. He actually had a full runway on his property to accommodate his jet. But Travolta's letter References MD Anderson which I think is your way.
But was always a fan of hers, she just had the " Nice" vibe around her. For the love of the game is a great example.
I respect the family keeping it private, but really did make it a surprise when I saw it today.

I think the first movie I watched with her in was Twins. She made my 11 year old brain think about some interesting things.
In many ways, this was a far more impressive film in 1985 than Back to the Future. Doug McKeon probably tried to get them to film this scene 800 times because no way it was getting better than that.Fall92 said:

The hotel scene when Arnold has no idea what to do....mmmmmmm
The jerry McGuire scene. You know the one.
Yes I was surprised as well very sad. She was engaged/involved to/with several Hollywood men. Charlie Sheen, George Clooney and Travolta.
Her and Travolta's relationship always kind of depressed me. He's 100% gay (I've heard too many stories, some of them first-hand), and he was also responsible for turning her on to Scientology (my guess is Cruise helped as well, during their Jerry Maguire days). I don't know if she was still a Scientologist when she died, but she was hard core into it at least a few years ago. Regardless, the whole thing with Travolta just never made any sense to me, and I wish she never got caught in his web. It feels like she could have had a much bigger career later in her life, or could have at least led a more normal life, relatively speaking.

I get the Scientology thing being weird but it seemed like she was happy, had kids, and lived a good life. Whatever we've all heard and read about that doesn't mean that her life or career were wasted by it. Plenty of actors decide to choose family over career so I think it's a little insensitive to say that.
I know you don't mean to come off that way, but I think it's best to leave that unsaid.
Or maybe she had the life she wantedTCTTS said:

Do you say Phoebe Cates and Bridget Fonda could have had bigger careers when they decided to step away for family?
Yeah in the UF boards there are folks that knew them because they lived in Ocala. Most folks said they were a normal down to earth family. Some folks there babysat for their kids, saw them around town or did fundraisers with them. So maybe, even if she compromised on marrying a man who might have liked men on the side, he gave her what she wanted in life. She got to live a relatively normal anonymous life with her kids well away form Hollywood.
Being married to a woman I doubt he's 100% gay. He could just be bi.TCTTS said:

You guys are probably right. She did seem happy. I just absolutely despise Scientology, and some of that "happiness" came across as being somewhat brainwashed at times. And yes, Travolta could very well be bi, I just know he's really, really, really into men, and that Scientology's origins are steeped in homophobia. Still, I obviously don't know the whole story, and I probably shouldn't have said anything.
He probably figured, well if any woman can turn me straight its her
Regardless, f Scientology.
Wait, this guy at into dudes?
First thought was we wondered if she was doing normal standard of care treatment for her breast cancer or some Scientology voodoo treatment for her disease. Regardless still way too young.
She was so hot in Mischief, great movie.

Same here. That's the first thing I thought after the shock of hearing it. Hope she didn't get to MD Anderson too late. Oh well, she was an adult and made her own decisions. Honestly by all accounts though she seemed like a sweet soul and if there's an afterlife, I hope she's happy and comfortable over there .Big Al 1992 said:
