Travolta Impersonated Bill Clinton In Primary Colors
The 1998 film Primary Colors is based on the book, Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics about President Bill Clinton’s first presidential campaign. The book was written by reporter Joe Klein, who covered the campaign for Newsweek. John Travolta plays a Southern governor who is seeking the highest political office in the country while dealing with numerous issues, including accusations of infidelity. The movie epitomizes ’90s politics and shows how tawdry the game can get. Many critics loved how it so accurately portrayed the political climate of the time period. It did not perform well at the box office, but Travolta was well received for his imitation of Clinton.
