Kelly Preston's Boots

"Kelly Preston has kids, and while not necessary for an actor, it really helped since she had a wonderfully natural way with the kids. She’s just a naturally warm, loving person, and that shows. She really becomes that beautiful mom of storybooks. She looks like a million bucks,” says director Bo Welch."

"It's in this role, as Mrs. Travolta, that Kelly's probably better known now, even though she's been working more or less continuously since 1985. Since Spellbinder, I haven't seen her in anything except Battlefield Earth. (I saw and heard those "you complete me" and "show me the money" clips from Jerry McGuire so often that I had no desire to see the film.) But a little while ago they started playing Mischief several times a day on cable, a film I hadn't seen in over a decade, and after watching it again, all the old fascination came flooding back, and I saw once more why I had gone through all that trouble to see it in the first place. And having thus rediscovered her, I noticed, too, that she still looks pretty good — if a little non-descript sometimes — even at the ripe old age of 40."

"Kelly Preston may co-star as a flying superhero in the new film Sky High, but while talking up her comedic role in the Disney movie, she had no hesitation in defending Tom Cruise's recent anti-drug attacks. Preston denies that her recent speaking out, however, was anything new. "Well, I've been speaking about the issue for the last seven years," Preston was saying in a Los Angeles hotel room."
