When presenting the In Memoriam segment at the Oscars on Sunday evening, John Travolta became emotional as he paid tribute to his colleague and late Grease costar Olivia Newton-John. The 69-year-old sadly burstled with tears as he paid tribute to some of Hollywood's top stars who died this year as he urged the audience and viewers to remember his peers in the entertainment business who are no longer with us. They've touched our hearts, they've made us smile, and they've become dear friends, who we'll all be thankful to,' with a quavering voice. He collapsed on his words and screamed to a halt, before finally summoning the courage to welcome Lenny Kravitz to the stage. Calling All Angels, the singer's 58, performed on the piano as part of a touching tribute film festival featuring film industry veterans, including Kirstie Alley, Ray Liotta, Angelo Badalamenti, Jean-Luc Goddard, Irene Cara, Burt Bacharach, Mary Alice, James Caan, and Raquel Welch.
