Olivia Newton-John died "peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends," according to an Instagram post shared by her family. She was 73.

"We ask that everyone please respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time. Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer."

The Australian singer was known just as much for her top hits, including "Physical" and "You're the One That I Want," as she was for her starring role alongside John Travolta in the classic film, "Grease."

So sad. She was one of the most beautiful women I ever saw. Great voice and didn’t seem like a show biz train wreck. RIP.

You know what is bizarre was a news item about half a year ago that for the last 10 years Olivia was the number 1 name for baby girls in Ontario where I live. She had an impact.

RIP Olivia.

Another star enters the Remembrance Album from a by-gone era.

John Travolta shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram to his former "Grease" co-star.
"My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better. Your impact was incredible. I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John!"
Travolta's wife, Kelly Preston, lost her battle to cancer in the summer of 2020.

“Grease” was smash hit.

When the Hollywood producers purchased the rights to the successful play, the screenwriters produced a script that bore minimal resemblance to the original material. The play was set at the fictional “Rydell High School” which was modeled upon Taft High School in Chicago where many of the authors had attended school. Virtually none of that material made it on to the big screen which was all Southern California.

There are countless photos of her but this might be my favourite. It's colourized but a pretty good job done. Taken in 1973 on an estate in England for a fashion magazine.

I had saved up that name for my own baby girl since 1980 when I was 12 years old. . .finally got to use it in 2005.
