Ellen Travolta is an American actress. She is the eldest sibling of John Travolta and is probably best known for her portrayal of Louisa Arcola Delvecchio, the mother of Chachi Arcola (Scott Baio) in the 1950s-based sitcom Happy Days, and unsuccessful spinoff, Joanie Loves Chachi. She also played the mother of Baio's character on Charles in Charge from 1987 to 1990. Her first truly notable role came playing Mrs. Horshack-O'Hara in three episodes of Welcome Back, Kotter. Her brother, John Travolta, portrayed Vinnie Barbarino in the series. Later in the 1970s, she played Dorothy Manucci in the short-lived series Makin' It. She also played Marion Keisker in John Carpenter's renowned 1979 film "Elvis".
