Kelly Preston’s final film role has been fondly remembered by husband John Travolta, who posted the trailer to Off The Rails on his Instagram.

“Off the Rails is Kelly’s last film,” Travolta wrote. “She was very proud of it and of all of the wonderful talent that she got to work with in it.”

Travolta’s 21-year-old daughter with Preston, Ella Travolta, shared three red heart emojis on the post.

Off The Rails, which premiered in theaters Friday, stars Jenny Seagrove, Sally Phillips, Elizabeth Dormer-Phillips, Ben Miller, Franco Nero and Judi Dench. Preston plays an American named Cassie, one of three friends in their 50s on an adventure across Europe to celebrate their recently deceased friend’s last wish. The deceased leaves four train rickets for her friends on the condition that they take her teenage daughter with them.

Directed by Jules Williamson and written by Jordan Waller, the film started shooting back in February 2019. Preston was diagnosed with breast cancer just months before the start date. She died last July 12 at age 57.

Preston’s acting resume included the films Mischief (1985), Jerry Maguire (1996), For Love of the Game (1999), What A Girl Wants (2003) and Death Sentence (2007).

She was married to Travolta for 28 years.
