In Hollywood As In Life You Never Reach The Top

When Jim Carey was paid $20,000,000 for The Cable Guy, a record breaking salary for a movie star, John Travolta topped him by asking for $20,000,001 for the movie Michael and got it. But there is always someone who makes more than you. John Travolta was invited to Robin William's birthday party in Northern California. He arrived there in his Lear Jet and was greeted by a cigar smoking Steven Spielberg, who had suggested he take the Michael role in the first place, and his wife Kate Capshaw.

"Nice plane John." "Thanks Steve."

"Hey John, when you walk into your plane do you have to duck your head?"

"Yeah the doorway is too low."

Spielberg turned to his wife. "Thank god we don't have to duck our heads, Do we honey?"
