This role should offer Travolta another opportunity to do some of his signature emphatic performing, as Aronow was reputedly a larger-than-life figure who loved fast boats, fast money, and fast women.
The man lived an eventful life, and now his memory will receive the ultimate commemoration: a biopic-thriller in which John Travolta will most likely wear a goofy hairpiece.
Deadline reports that in the elegantly titled Speed Kills, Travolta will give his take on Don Aronow’s life and times, playing the boating mogul in his later years.
A quick image-search of Aronow reveals that the man had thick, lustrous, wavy black hair right up until the year of his death.
