From the BBC:
“Actress
and singer Olivia Newton-John dies aged 73”
Olivia
Newton-John, star of Grease and multi-platinum selling singer, has died aged
73, her family says. In a short statement, her husband John Easterling said she
had passed away at her California ranch on Monday morning. "Olivia has
been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with
breast cancer," the statement said. "We ask that everyone please
respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time."
An actress and
singer, Newton-John achieved commercial success as a country singer and sold
millions of records. But it was her role as Sandy in the film adaption of
Grease that catapulted her to worldwide fame. After being diagnosed with breast
cancer in the early 1990s, Newton-John became a leading advocate for cancer
research. Her efforts in the field were recognised by Queen Elizabeth, who
honoured her with a Dame in 2020 New Year's Honours list.
John Travolta,
who starred opposite Newton-John in Grease, wrote on Instagram that she
"made all of our lives so much better". "Your impact was
incredible. I love you so much," he wrote. "We will see you down the
road and we will all be together again. Yours from the first moment I saw you
and forever!"
^ This is very
sad. She was a good Actress, Singer and Human Being. ^
