As a child I often watched the “Kung Fu” television show starring David Carradine. Even as an adult I thought he was the Coolest Man Alive. Now, with Carradine’s passing (“‘Kung Fu’ Carradine dies,” June 6, 2009) that leaves John Travolta as the undisputed Coolest Man Alive. Or, not. Coincidentally, I also watched Travolta on TV when I was a youngster, playing Vinnie Barbarino on the TV show “Welcome Back Kotter,” co-starring Gabe Kaplan.
