Apparently her cancer fight has been kept from the public eye.
Kelly Preston, Actor and Wife of John Travolta, Dies at 57
Los Angeles (AP) -- Kelly Preston, who played dramatic and comic foil to actors ranging from Tom Cruise in “Jerry Maguire” to Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Twins,” died Sunday, husband John Travolta said. She was 57.
Travolta said in an Instagram post that his wife of 28 years died after a two-year battle with breast cancer.
“It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer,” Travolta said. “She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many.”
I read that this morning.
I beat breast cancer. It was removed in 2011. I was on chemo for 7 years. Nine years later, I'm still here.
I was surprised when I read that she died. I started shaking and crying when I read what killed her.
It's a very evil disease. Four women in my family before me died from it. I'm the first to beat it.
My heart goes out to John and his children. They don't deserve more death in their family.
This is the second woman in John's life who has died from this evil disease. Diana Hyland, died of breast cancer in 1977.
I have been sending good energy out to him and will include him and his children in my prayers.
