Olivia Newton John dead at 73.

 

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."

"Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be made in her memory to the @onjfoundation," the social media post added. 

"Olivia is survived by her husband John Easterling; daughter Chloe Lattanzi; sister Sarah Newton-John; brother Toby Newton-John; nieces and nephews Tottie, Fiona and Brett Goldsmith; Emerson, Charlie, Zac, Jeremy, Randall, and Pierz Newton-John; Jude Newton-Stock, Layla Lee; Kira and Tasha Edelstein; and Brin and Valerie Hall."

Days before her death, Lattanzi posted a picture with her mother and wrote, "I worship this woman. My mother. My best friend."

 

I had a crush on her when I was a kid in the 70's.

I guess it depends on your mood at the moment and maybe your childhood era. I watched it 5 or 6 years ago (for the first time since 1978), and it definitely doesn't hold up to the test of time. Back when it came out, I was 9. My brother (14) won 4 tickets on a radio call in contest (WPGC), to opening day. So we and two friends went to go see it. 

As I recall, we didn't 'hate' it, but it wasn't a movie that we'd go stand in line to pay money to see. Not after having seen Star Wars the year before, and wanting more of the same sort of movie. 

It's one of those silly, stupid sort of movies that you have to be in THAT sort of mood to be able to sit through.

RIP. One of my early crushes. Talented lady.

Interesting, her grandfather was Max Born!  Let's get physical indeed.
