Sunday Profile: Olivia Newton-John

Actress, author and singer Olivia Newton-John, 71, is battling breast cancer for the third time. "I'm happy. I'm lucky. I'm grateful. I have much to live for. And I intend to keep on living it," she tells "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King in an emotional interview at her Los Angeles home. Newton-John talks about her diagnosis two years ago and how, while the pain can be unbearable, her spirit remains unshakable.

She was so strong, beautiful and peaceful despite all her pain. I’m glad she felt as though she had accomplished so much that she wanted in her life. It’s scary as a breast cancer survivor to think 5, q0 or even 20 years later it can come back and with a vengeance. It is very frightening. I pray I never have to experience it again and i hope to be able to accomplish my dreams. She is a great inspiration! RIP beautiful lady!

I loved her too, not as a girlfriend, but as an artist. I loved singing along with her on the radio. I loved the purity, the tone of her voice. My prayers are with her and her family. It's difficult to do interviews when you're not feeling well. I thank her for her sacrifice. She knows her fans want to see her, we want reassurance that she's okay. She's not, but she tries, for us. Thank you Olivia. ♥️ You're a magnificent artist.

Cancer is so horrible. Having cancer in the past myself, and seeing other people passing away eventually from the disease is very distressing. I know Olivia did everything right, maybe even prolonged her life, but the end result was still the same. Seeing as money was no object this inabled her to afford all those things health insurance doesn't cover. This is probably why she lived 30 more years since original diagnosis. God help the rest of us. I'm only 5 years out which is scary. I've already had one local recurrence. 😳 The whole thing is very upsetting. I'm sorry for her, and all the rest of us going through this.

I love this Lady. She epitomizes Class and Grace.

[@MrsMuir-yp7kw]

My heart is broken. My first memories of her was when I was about 12. She was a beautiful, talented. courageous, classy, generous woman. Prayers for her daughter, husband, family, friends and many fans. You will forever be Sandy to me. RIP love 💘💔🙏

What a beautiful soul

[@danasims6074]

She's still beautiful❤️❤️❤️

[@thomashusted]

An amazing woman, an amazing life that touched millions and she will live on through her amazing voice and iconic performances, RIP.

[@Jude74]

I have never stopped listening to her music, and I never will.

[@Neednoy2]

She's beautiful inside and out. Her smiles still the same after all this time.

[@annewrenn5014]

This breaks my heart to watch now. Strength, determination and positivity. Olivia knew she was up against so much, but smiled thru it all to give hope to others ... AND build a world- class,Cancer & Wellness ,( the first of it's kind) Center. She was put here to save other's souls and lives. It's also clear that Gayle King was in awe of this beautiful soul. Rest in Peace Olivia.

[@Yesica1993]

Oh, I didn't know she was struggling with illness again. Breaks my heart.

[@lorilori3]

She has been a part of my life with her music since before I was 10. Now much older, I am also inspired by her beautiful, positive spirit despite life's hurdles.

[@Denise_Suzanne]

We are probably around the same age, then. I am 47 and she has been a part of my life for 40 years. Her music is the soundtrack to my childhood. I love this woman.

[@Altenholz]

Incredible will to live, regardless of these brutal life crises. My utmost respect for this achievement Olivia!

[@felipenunez3995]

Olivia es una verdadera dama Dulce, femenina, amable, educada, fuerte a la vez, todo un ejemplo en ese difícil mundo de la música Dios te bendiga olivia y te tendremos como lo que siempre has sido un ángel en la tierra que tanto necesitamos

Olivia if you read my comment, I really whish from the bottom of my heart all the best and a very long life. Best regards from Switzerland.

[@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821]

Olivia was my favorite singer and entertainer ever since I can remember as a child especially after watching Grease when I was 10 years old. She is truly a gift from heaven and I am so lucky to be part of her era. R.I.P Olivia!! Thank you for all your contribution and your kind heart that touched so many. We all love you and miss you dearly!!

[@ambriadaniels8786]

I'm still sad for her about her fiancee dumping her by jumping off a ship and pretending to be dead at sea while with her, only to be found 4 years later alive somewhere. Poor Olivia. That had to completely have devastated her. What a crappy thing to do to someone

[@randysfavorites6901]

I have loved Olivia for years, I was 10 when her record "Let Me Be There" came out in 1973. "Grease" was the word , we had the album, the 45's, the 8 track....I still have the LP and the CD....so many memories. You're in my prayers, Olivia. Such a beautiful soul inside and out....Love You!

[@zackhudson5172]

Hello dear. Blessed day to you, how are you doing today?

[@davanmani556]

1978-1982 period is my favorite.

[@lorilori3]

Same here. At 16 it was my favorite song, and got to see her sing it in concert in 81.

[@eldrinod]

[@ilovegoodsax]

My favorite song of hers.❤❤❤

[@lynn1464]

She still is really pretty hope she can beat this again

[@mercedessosa5221]

I was so excited to see her in concert with my family in 2014. She was amazing! Her voice was so clear and perfect. At the end of the concert my 22 year old niece turned to me and said, "That does it! I was definitely born in the wrong decade." Thank you for making my entire life wonderful with your music Olivia. You are goodness, strength and elegance and the world will always love you ❤️. One of the truly great.

[@thejaramogi1]

Great to see that she is still beautiful and gorgeous!

[@BJane58]

I love this woman! She was my idol the first time I ever heard her sing. Beautiful, kind, talented........can’t say enough. I never knew anyone who didn’t adore Olivia Newton-John.

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

This just popped up as a suggestion. Being a fan of Olivia's from my teens, I'm in tears. Though a mixture of happy and sad. She was a wonderful inspiration for so many of us so it's hard not to be happy watching her smile and showing her amazing strength, yet sad at our loss of her. She will be greatly missed. My prayers go to her family and close friends.

[@redlikewineagain697]

Adding this amazing lady to my prayer list. May God heal and cure you, Olivia ♥

[@rosakelley9786]

Olivia I don’t know if this will get to maybe it will get passed on but I feel better saying this. Olivia I have been a fan for a long time. I enjoyed listening to your music, seeing you in concert, and your movies. I think you have a a beautiful soul and a good heart ❤️!

[@diannecarpenter7718]

Olivia Newton-John, is an inspiration to all. Olivia ‘s music and movies, will live on forever !! Rest In Peace, Olivia. 🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁

Epitome of grace. Still seriously beautiful and just seems to be a joy to conversate with. Great Woman. Had a lot of courage to face that monster of a disease the way she did. Everyone gets tired of hurting eventually though. Very scary words to have to hear I would think. Rest In Peace Lovely Soul! You DEFINITELY left your mark on this world!!!

She is and always has been too good for this world. I've always looked up to her, not because she's famous, but because she has such a beautiful soul and a remarkable outlook on life.
