    Olivia was an angel who blessed all of us with her grace and love. She spent a lot of her life supporting people in Australia with cancer. She raised $100 million to build a Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in her hometown of Melbourne. She also built one in the US. To us she was an inspiration and a hero. RIP Livy.

    In this movie the chemistry between them was real. They both had huge crushes on each other but were involved with other people. John Travolta had told people who were doing the casting that he wanted Olivia in Grease. She was such an amazing woman. You should read things about her and what she did for others. She is missed by so many people who made an impact on their lives. RIP Olivia Newton John. Now you will not suffer anymore. 😥😥

    Yes guys, there was definitely a 50’s throw back during the 80’s. It really got its start with Happy Days which first aired in 1974. Fun/strange fact: Henry Winkler/ The Fonz from Happy Days, was approached to play Danny. He turned it down because he didn’t wanna be type cast. Plus (no offense Henry) I don’t think that he had the singing and dancing chops to do this. Plus, Travolta was on the heels of his Saturday Night Fever success. Back then we definitely knew that he could dance. We were supremely surprised to find out he could sing too!

    Grease was the only movie my brother and I went back to watch at the cinema after the first viewing, I think we went five days in a row, the last time we talked our parents into coming to watch it. Every time we left the theatre everyone was singing the songs and actually dancing. It actually felt like a party. Our usual choice of movie was a thriller or action film.
    In my mind Olivia will always be Sandy!

    Olivia was 28, she never looked her age, but nobody cares in the film!
    I remember queueing around the block to get in the cinema
    Sandy was completely different from anything Olivia had dome before and she was made for it.
    From what you see, she was exactly the person we wanted her to be, only stronger

    Grease was filmed in the summer of 1977 (Elvis died in August 1977) and released in June of 1978. Obviously the actors were much older than the parts that they played. Stockard Channing (Rizzo) was the oldest at 33. Travolta was 23, Olivia Newton-John turned 29 during filming. Lorenzo Lamas (the jock that Sandy goes with for a short while) at 19 and Eddie Deezen (Eugene) at 20 were the ones closest to high school age, LOL.

    I was 15 going on 16 the summer of ‘78 when this movie came out. Talk about obsessed. I bought the double album, sang all the songs and even acted out the movie while listening to the album on headphones. I was lucky enough that my sister, who is 6 years older than Olivia, owned a pair of high heels pretty identical to these. 👠 I’m sure that Olivia’s were red leather and wood soles. I was satisfied with red God knows what fabric and plastic soles. I could never wear those shoes longer than the duration of this song. They hurt like the dickens! I never really liked high heels, but I’d proudly put these on while re enacting this scene in the living room. Yes, I wave my geek flag proudly. 🤣 Back then, I was as skinny as Olivia too.

    There was a 1950's revival in the mid 1970's. This was ignited by the film American Graffiti (even though that took place in the early 1960's - it still had a 50's feel) and then later picked up by films like "The Lords of Flatbush" and tv shows like "Happy Days" and it's spin off "Laverne and Shirley". Grease came in at the tail end of that. A lot of this had to do with culture of the 1970's - which was pretty much dead in the mid-1970's. People had just woken up from the 1960's (and were starting to see the negative results of that decade) and were talking about this "simpler time" of the 1950's.

      @@gavinhall6040 i agree. We 🇬🇧 don't claim Kylie as ours despite the fact she found international fame in the UK and lived in the UK for many years, nor Rolf Harris come to think of it 😆 I think the Aussies will claim almost anyone as theirs because they don't have many artists that are internationally well known. Just my opinion.

    Remember I went to see this at the pictures when it was on first time around - must’ve been mid teens. It’s been so long I’d forgotten what a great singer ONJ was. Vaguely remember she had a regular slot on the Cliff Richard show way before that - and represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest one year.
    Also this movie, perhaps minus the singing and dancing 😜, set in my mind what American High School was 😊
    Back in the mists of time, there was a spoof of this particular song (in the UK) by ageing comedians/comic actors Arthur Millard & Hylda Baker too, which is very odd.

    Embarrassingly, I have always thought of Grease and this song in particular as low brow trashy nonsense, but I think I finally understand, now that it is too late for me, that there was actually an extremely valuable life lesson in this song, which unfortunately went right over my head when I watched Grease as a young boy. If I had understood it then, my life could well have turned out to be infinitely better. Some of the details of how it is portrayed in the movie do perhaps slightly obscure the message. The transformation of Sandy from sweet and passive, to leather clad, can perhaps be misinterpreted as becoming slutty in order to get the man she has fallen in love with, which would be a bad thing. I'm pretty certain now that the intention was rather different. When I was in school, I did meet a beautiful, smart and strong girl, but I didn't step up ("shape up"). I effectively just said to her "here I am, take me or leave me!" and, no surprises, she left me alone. It never even crossed my mind that I needed to step up so as to work with her as equal partners to secure a successful future for us both. So, I think that is the message of Grease and this song in particular. It is about power dynamics in a relationship. In the case of Grease, Sandy does in some sense "fall in love" with Danny, but she knows that it can't work out if they stay as they are, i.e. Sandy all sweet and passive, while Danny takes nothing seriously and is lazy. So, Sandy transforms herself, not into a "slut" but into a driven assertive woman and sets about telling Danny that he now needs to "step up", or else there is no chance for them as a couple. The important point is that Sandy doesn't transform herself into what Danny wants her to be, or even into what she thinks Danny wants her to be. If anything, Danny would probably have been happier, at least in the short term, with the sweet and passive version of Sandy. No, it is more that Sandy wants a successful life and Danny needs to change for that to move forward. Sadly perhaps, this is probably the reality. I say sadly, because there is a bit of a fine line over which marriage really becomes little more than a mutual business arrangement, often ending in divorce if financial goals aren't reached, or something like that. However, it is basically a sound principle that a successful relationship can only happen if both partners contribute proactively to building a life for each other. Sandy made sure than Danny got that wake up call!

      Also Danny tried to change into a jock for Sandy. So they both understood they needed to make changes for themselves and each other. I don't know at least that's how I see it.🤔

      @@natalieburnham3300 Yes, it is certainly something along those lines. Note when Danny sings to Sandy, after her transformation, "the power you are supplying, it's electrifying!" This is pretty clearly a reference to Sandy having become a "powerful woman", in some sense.

    In the UK there absolutely was a 50s throwback in the 80s both mainstream with The Fonz and Grease but also James Dean and Marylin Monroe posters were everywhere, club-culture had a strong 50s influence in the post-punk era, rockabilly and psychobilly was popular and kept the music alive and the quiff or the flat top on the boys heads, shopping for original 50s clothing like vintage baseball jackets, Levis, checked shirts (all US imports to the UK) - was also a big thing. We were raised on Elvis films playing on TV during in the summer holidays and our parents 50s record collections. I still love the imagery from that era. I remember queueing three Saturdays in a row to see Grease when it first came out, the queues were so long we didn't get into until that third attempt. RIP Olivia,
