The popular television series
Welcome Back, Kotter
(1975-1979)
featured the members of a Brooklyn high school class to which Gabe Kotter, a former student, had returned as a teacher.
GABE KAPLAN
, previously a standup comedian,
starred as teacher Gabe Kotter in the TV sitcom
Welcome Back Kotter
(1975-1979)

Fast Break
(1979).
JOHN TRAVOLTA
received
Academy Award nominations
for
Saturday Night Fever
(1977) and
Pulp Fiction
(1994). Travolta, who
first found fame as Vinnie Barbarino in the TV sitcom
Welcome Back, Kotter
(1975-1977), became a
cultural phenomenon
with the release of the films and soundtracks of
Saturday Night Fever
and
Grease
(1978).
His
Urban Cowboy
(1980) gave as big a boost to country music as
Saturday Night Fever
had for disco. Travolta's career seemed in decline in the 1980s, but big successes in
Pulp Fiction
(1994),
Get Shorty
(1995),
Face/Off
(1997) and
Swordfish
(2002) heralded his return as a major American actor.
ROBERT HEGYES (1951-2012) spent a few years acting on Broadway before being cast in the ABC comedy
Welcome Back Cotter
(1975-1979).
After the show Hegyes continued to act on television and on stage and played the character
Detective Manny Esposito on the television crime drama
Cagney and Lacey
from 1986-1988.
MARCIA STRASSMAN
has
over 60 TV shows and movies to her credit,
beginning with a 1964 role in
The Patty Duke Show
, but is probably best known as Nurse Margie Cutler from
M*A*S*H
(1972-1973) and as
Gabe Kotter's wife Julie Kotter in
Welcome Back, Kotter
(1975-1979). She was also the wife and mother in
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
(1989) and its sequel,
Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
(1992).
LAWRENCE HILTON-JACOBS appeared in all 93 episodes of the show as Sweathog Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington.
He has continued a successful acting career, appearing in numerous films and television shows including
Alien Nation
(1989-1990) and
Let's Stay Together
(2011).
RON PALILLO
(1949-2012)
has appeared onscreen since the 1970s, mostly working as a supporting actor.
His most famous role was his first: Arnold Horshack in the TV sitcom

(1975-1979).
