You remember the strut the character of Tony Manero had while walking down the street in the opening scene of “Saturday Night Fever,” right?

Well, John Travolta, nominated for an Oscar for his performance as the disco-dancing Manero, has good reason to be strutting again these days after the 2007 box office successes “Hairspray” and “Wild Hogs.”

“Isn’t it exciting?,” John said when we chatted Tuesday morning at the Women In Entertainment Power 100 Breakfast. “It’s probably my biggest year since ‘Saturday Night Fever’ and ‘Grease’ as far as films being successful in such a close-together time period.”

John, now 53, was in his early 20s when he transitioned from TV star (“Welcome Back Kotter”) to movie superstar with the one-two punch of “Fever” and “Grease.”

Since John made a major comeback with his Oscar-nominated role in “Pulp,” he has made 24 movies where he has been a leading man, part of an ensemble or in a supporting role.

“It’s because I don’t direct or produce,” he said of his prolific acting resume. “I just act and I think you can make ypourself more available if you’re just a hired actor. If you produce and direct, you really can only do one project a year. But if you just act, you can do two.”

John was the biggest male star at an early-morning breakfast at the Beverly Hills Hotel to honor 100 powerful female movers-and-shakers: “It is hard to get me up but when 100 women invite you to be here, and you’re the only man, you arrive with bells on your toes,” he said.
