It's such a sad day to lose an actress as kind and beautiful as Kelly Preston. Kelly gave the world decades of work and did it all with a luminous smile. Her life had a lot of ups and downs that included the death of her son and her long battle with breast cancer, but through it, Kelly has remained a light in this dark world. She's had a very famous and public life from her marriage to John Travolta to her career that spanned four decades, Kelly became a fixture in pop culture and modern movie-making.

Kelly was born in Honolulu and carried her chill island vibes with her on every project she tackled. She began her career as a model with Elite Agency and quickly started to act in soap operas like the short-lived Capitol and her debut in Hawaii Five-O. Her early career included work in the sexy 1986 film 52 Pick-Up and 1983's Christine.

She wowed the public in Ivan Reitman's Twins (1988) which elevated her to mainstream audiences everywhere, but in the 1990s she took on even more prestigious roles. Who could forget her nude table scene in Jerry Maguire?

We adore her for her skincredible work in Mischief where she played Marilyn McCauley. She has one of the absolute hottest scenes of the 1980s. You've seen it before, I'm sure, but honor Kelly today by watching it again. Her inner joy and warmth is so present in this scene where she's both sexy and playful.

We're so grateful to have lived in a world that gave us Kelly Preston. She made a huge impression on audiences everywhere for decades and was a loving wife and mother. May she rest in peace.
