Preston was born as Kelly Kamalelehua Palzis in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her mother, Linda Carlson,[1] was an administrator of a mental health center, and her father, who worked for an agricultural firm, drowned when Preston was three years old.[2] Her adoptive father was Peter Palzis, a personnel director, and her stepfather was Lee Carlson.[3][4] She spent time living in Iraq and Australia as a result of her biological father's work when she was a child. While living in Australia, she attended Pembroke School in Adelaide. She later attended Punahou School and studied drama and theater at the University of Southern California.[5]
At sixteen, she was discovered by a fashion photographer who helped her get work in commercials and other small parts, which eventually developed into a successful movie career. She is a spokesperson for Neutrogena and appears in print and television ads. She played the girlfriend of her husband's character "Terl" in the 2000 film Battlefield Earth,[6] and received "Worst Supporting Actress" at the 21st Golden Raspberry Awards for her role in the film.[7]
She was featured in the chart-topping Maroon 5 music video, "She Will Be Loved" in 2004. The video features a love triangle and romantic scenes between Preston and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. In 2008 she was cast in a television pilot for a potential show called Suburban Shootout.[8] She previously had a recurring role on Medium.[8]
Her former boyfriends include George Clooney and Charlie Sheen [9] After living with Sheen for one year (Although they never married, Charlie Sheen presented Kelly with a 2.5 karat pink diamond engagement ring when he proposed to her in 1989 [10]), she ended the relationship in 1990 shortly after an incident in which Sheen accidentally shot her in the arm[11]. She married Kevin Gage from 1986 to 1988.[12] She married John Travolta on September 12, 1991. They have a son, Jett Travolta (b. April 13, 1992), and a daughter, Ella Blue Travolta (b. April 3, 2000). Travolta married her twice. Their first wedding (September 5, 1991) was performed by a French Scientologist minister, but it was later declared legally invalid. They married again within the month. Both Travolta and Preston are Scientologists, and Preston appeared in the film Battlefield Earth (produced by Travolta, based on the novel by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard).
