Olivia Newton-John was an iconic singer and actress who won four Grammy awards and starred in iconic movies such as Grease and Xanadu. Ever since she.

‘Physical’ has to be Olivia Newton-John’s most successful song in her career outside of Grease. The song was released on Sept. 1981 and was so successful that not only did it sit at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for weeks, but it was covered many times. Unfortunately, Newton-John did not win the song contest that year and was placed fourth out of the 17 countries that participated. Olivia Newton-John captured the hearts of fans both old and young. ‘Summer Nights’ tells the story of how the two lead characters Danny (Travolta) and Sandy (Newton-John) met during the summer and fell in love. John Farrer, the songwriter of ‘You’re the One That I Want’ and Newton-John’s longtime collaborator, told Debbie Krugger that the song was the “fastest he’s ever written.” The song is catchy and upbeat and is one of the best hits that Newton-John released in the post-2010s. Of all the songs that Newton-John sang in Grease, ‘Summer Nights’ has to be the most iconic. ‘Magic’ was written for the film Xanadu and was produced by John Faraar after the two worked together on Grease. The song was described as ‘accessible’ with its simple beat and sound. One of the songs on Hotel Sessions was ‘Best of My Love’, which had its demo leaked before it was recorded. In 2012, Newton-John collaborated with her Grease co-star John Travolta and released a Christmas album, filled with covers of Christmas classics that the two sang together. Despite it being released in the late 70s, A Little More Love’ was used in modern media such as the 2006 animated film Monster House and the 2018 film Gloria Bell. Although it was some time since the pair last collaborated, Newton-John and Travolta have an amazing dynamic that no one could take away from them.

Matthew Hild has written a book about Andy Gibb, the late younger brother of the Bee Gees, titled "Arrow Through the Heart." He detailed Gibb's friendship ...

"He was just a sweetheart," she said at the time. Hild noted that Gibb’s heart problem was "going on for years and was likely drug-related." "In our correspondence, she emphasized how sweet of a friend Andy was," said Hild. "Those were her exact words. "You could tell in those letters that even [decades later] she was incredibly proud of what he achieved," Hild shared. He suffered from a lot of insecurity and was worried that people would view him as riding on the coattails of his brothers. "When they first met, Andy was just a kid who hung around a lot in the studio with his brothers," said Hild. "But once he turned 19 and 20, they shared a true friendship. "She felt very protective of Andy," Hild said. It didn’t take long for Newton-John to quickly become "a friend of the family," Hild shared. He died the next morning of myocarditis, known as inflammation of the heart muscle. The pop singer and younger brother of the Bee Gees, who skyrocketed to fame as a teen idol, passed away in 1988 at age 30, five days after his birthday. According to Hild, Newton-John first met Gibb in the early ’70s through his brothers, before he became famous. And even when Andy was alive, he would say the same thing about her.

Her mother convinced Olivia Newton-John, at 17 years old, to come to the UK in 1965 after she won a TV talent competition so she could pursue a singing ...

Her career continued intermittently, but with a contagious sense of humour, through the ’90s and beyond. John, 73, was a cheerful artist with feathered hair and a jazzy, calming tone as a young pop singer who passed away on Monday after a long battle with breast cancer. One of the greatest film debuts of all time was the outcome of her performance. Her life-changing experience with breast cancer, though, led her to lean into a gently uplifting new-age sound on many of her more recent recordings. She was seated next to Grease producer Allan Carr at a dinner gathering, and he claimed that despite her advanced age, she could still play an adolescent. Although it didn’t initially pay off, she eventually teamed up with fellow Australian Pat Carroll to establish a successful touring duo, which helped her acquire enough momentum to make her debut album in 1971.

By the time her second, self-titled album hit in 1972, the British-Australian singer still weaved in some covers along with original tracks, including one ...

Recorded in Nashville, Back with a Heart marked Newton-John’s return to the U.S. Country charts after nearly 20 years. Released independently and recorded in Australia in 1993 and 1994, the uptempo lead single “No Matter What You Do” reached the Top 40 within the country. On her 14th album, Newton-John took a different turn and sang children’s lullabies, even penning her own, “Warm and Tender,” with Farrar. The title track was a tribute to the singer’s daughter Chloe Rose, who was born in 1986. The first album Newton-John released since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, Gaia: A Women’s Journey, walked through her personal experiences in songs “Why Me” and “Not Gonna Give into It,” as well as her devotion to environmental issues.

But she credited her mum for helping her overcome personal demons - including her battle with substance abuse, body dysmorphia and anorexia. Olivia died ...

She said: 'I honestly felt that for the first time in my life there was hope. I don't blame my mother for my problems, but I would never want to be famous or raise a child of my own around the cult of celebrity. 'Growing up I was under immense pressure being the daughter of such a famous woman. Pictured in 2015 She said: 'You don't want to think anything could be wrong - that's not to say I wasn't frightened, nervous and anxious for her. 'We were just talking about it and she said to me, "I did everything I could. It ruins lives,' she said at the time. Olivia and Chloe are pictured together in 2016 For my mum, it was also a terribly hard time. As you can see, I'm a very well-adjusted person... Pictured in 2015 And we all have our cancers.'

"On behalf of not just our family, but I think Australia needs it," Newton-John's niece Tottie Goldsmith said this week.

I love you forever my life giver, my teacher, my mama." "It has been my honor and continues to be my honor to be your baby and best friend. "She's so loved and I think our country needs it so we're going to accept it."

Images of Sandy Olsson's infamous makeover accompanied many tributes to the actor who died this week.

“I’ve done Sophie’s Choice, I won an Academy Award for All That Jazz, but this is the one that I’m that I’m known for.” But, says Bailey, “I don’t think it will ever eclipse Grease. It’s the character of Sandy. That costume, that breakout moment, that reaction by Danny.” If she’d had the same hair [as the rest of the film] and that costume, it wouldn’t work.” “[But] Newton-John plays that role with a tongue wedged firmly in her cheek … [The way] she looks to her friends for directions on how to drop the cigarette, for example.” The simplicity of the outfit – black trousers, black top, red lipstick – has assisted its staying power, says Bailey. “It is so bold and classic and simple and sexy that many people can wear it,” she says. “That will be on my tombstone, that’s for sure,” he says. “You could read that final scene as her moving from one stereotype to [another],” he says. “One rip and disaster.” Fans paid tribute on Twitter, with one writing that the outfit “has shaped my fashion style since I was about three” and another saying “the world changed” after seeing it. “They were so old, and there was just one pair, so there was no room for error,” she wrote. “It seems to have a way of representing [the] dreams of everyone,” says Oliver Gruner, who edited the 2019 book Grease is the Word. “[Sandy] transforms from a shrinking violet … [It’s an example of] just totally becoming a different character, remaking yourself.” The death of Olivia Newton-John this week was followed by an avalanche of tributes from celebrities and fans on social media.
