Olivia Newton-John

Olivia Newton-John became an absolute icon starring alongside John Travolta in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Grease in 1978. The film’s soundtrack helped earn her three top 5 singles with hits, “Hopelessly Devoted To You,” “Summer Nights” and “You’re The One That I Want.”

In 1981, a few years after Grease, Newton-John had her most successful album, Physical, with the title track being quite popular and also shunned by some for its suggestive lyrics. Sadly, Newton-John died on 8 August 2022, at age 73 at her home in the Santa Ynez Valley of California due to stage IV breast cancer.
