Author Dedicates Novel to California Teen Fan

Film star and recording artist dedicates life story novel "My Fractured Life" to young fan.

Seventeen year old California teen Jeanna Marie Assman was inspired to embark on her own performing career after seeing national headliner Rikki Lee Travolta in a local appearance, now the high school senior is the subject of the dedication page of Travoltas newly published novel My Fractured Life.

Hes been my inspiration," said Assman in a 2001 interview with the Daily Bulletin for a story about how the actor and recording artist has served as a personal and professional mentor throughout her life.

In 1999 following the loss of her grandmother, Assman received a birthday present of tickets to a production of the musical West Side Story starring Travolta in the lead role, which he had toured nationally in. Learning of Assmans birthday and recent loss through a note from her mother, Travolta brought the fan on stage after the performance and presented her with a bouquet of flowers.

I know what its like to need a new friend. Ive been there too," explains Travolta. The star continued to correspond with Assman thereafter, and would visit with her family whenever he was in town. He even made arrangements to accompany her to visit her grandmothers gravesite.

I have one of the pictures Jeanna drew of me framed and hanging on the wall of my home," says Travolta of their special relationship.

I have traveled all over the country playing to thousands of people a night, and I value every single one of those fans," says Travolta. But, I will always consider Jeanna Assman my number one fan." Which, is exactly what the dedication in his novel says.
