HEARTBROKEN to hear about the death of Olivia Newton John. As a little girl I must have watched Grease 1,000 times. I wrote to her when I was 8. She actually wrote back. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was gorgeous on the outside. An absolute LEGEND lost. 💔 RIP Sandy.

I wasn't too far behind you as a little girl in the early 80s. I loved Olivia Newton John. My brother and I watched Grease a million times and I used to sing along to her Xanadu soundtrack and Physical. She was such a huge part of my childhood and I'm really sad to hear that she's gone. She bravely fought cancer for so long!

If you were a teen in the 70's, you grew up with Olivia Newton John. If you were a young boy, you fell in love with her. She had beauty, talent, and a genuinely nice personality.

In another post I actually paid homage to the fact that John Travolta got to dance with ONJ and Princess Diana (lucky guy!).

The loss of these 2 ladies is heartbreaking.

But they always say '"passed away peacefully". Well I know fellow patients of Mum that weren't so 'lucky', crying out in pain. My mum died in my arms in 1999, a shadow of the strong midwife she was, just staring at me, until she passed away. People say 'the last breath' - It is real, but not like in the movies.. The last breath was exhaled after she died, a guess a minute later. Shocking. The only consolation I have is that she stared at me, and a few hours earlier I was the only person she accepted that offered her a cola, by straw. How she even accepted me as the only person she would accept any liquid food from in her last hours has been a mystery to me. Maybe it was just my voice, my smell, or maybe it was nothing. I don't know, but I'm still heartbroken by this event. The person that put me on the world died. I couldn't grasp it then and can't grasp it now.. 😢😢

[@bobcaygeon6799]

@@janverboven My sentiments exactly. For some lucky souls their departure from this realm is indeed peaceful but for others definitely not. Like, you, I'm forever 'affected' by being bedside to my dutch/Indonesian father, along with rest of our family. The healing is ongoing and will likely never be done. I know for sure, how I don't want to die, if given the choice. I have since researched assisted death and will definitely be considering it. I'm truly sorry for your sorrow. There's many like us out there. I can imagine your mother would not want you to waste your remaining life mourning her so much that your life is miserable. Your grief is your process. Everyday we can only do our best. Perhaps we all meet on 'the other side'. In the meantime, honour your mother's memory as best as you can. I imagine your mother is very proud of you. I know I am 🙂

I did not know Olivia, but I feel very saddened by this like so many.

I always thought she was great, way before Grease...as well as after Grease! The first song I adored of hers was If Not For You. No better rendition, IMO. Something Better To Do, while not a huge hit...I've always enjoyed. She had some great duets and also sang back up on one of John Denver's songs, Fly Away. Her distinctive vocals were easily detected. She was such a pretty lady, and never played up her sexuality card. Always...fresh-scrubbed, never tawdry. As they say....her smile could light up a room. She was very likable and truly blessed. So sad to see her go. RIP

I remmber as a kid i've been watching Grease on loops. This along with "Hair" were the movies I watched more than any other movie in my life. What a great loss, rest in peace Olivia, rest in peace Sandy.

[@ThisisDaniel]

A truly heartbreaking loss. It's amazing how someone can be so universally loved by many, I can't imagine anyone having a negative word to say about her. What a lovely energy she contributed to the world, grateful for her talent and thoughts go out to her mourning family, friends and fans.

[@lyndaanneshop]

Oof. She was a really mean person to “commoners” like my dad who installed her security system. There is a reason she didn’t have anything but Grease on her resume.

Rest well, Olivia. You were a part of my early teen years and I’ve been a fan my whole life. Your voice always carried such emotion and we could feel your songs right into our cores. The world has lost a bright light. My deepest sympathies to your daughter and husband who are missing you tonight.

[@zerguszz7589]

My dad usually listens to it. He has been doing it since the 80's, since he was a kid. Thanks to him, I started listening to her for as long as I can remember and now as a young man I listen to it from time to time. I feel her departure as if I had been a very very assiduous fan of his music. It has left a hole in my heart to hear the news.... A beautiful woman, not only physically, she was gorgeous, but she had a unique voice, charming and with a special touch, that touch that only 70's music can give you. She was a very beautiful woman, with those factions that make your jaw drop because of how natural she is. And the humility she exuded, was also a characteristic trait... you don't see it nowadays... A unique woman, in all aspects, has left us, it will be difficult to see someone like her again and less chance for the way the world is going nowadays. I'm not going to lie, I won't be able to listen to her song in the same way knowing that Olivia has left us. RIP. Fare thee well wherever you are.

I am a massive fan of Grease and Olivia. It was one of the first movies I was obsessed with as a kid. Very sad to hear she passed away, but her legacy will live on forever.

Same for so many of us. Grease was watched over and over by me and so many kids I grew up with.

What legacy? What did she do for society? A cancer "wellness" center she asks random working class put to fund with donations? Instead of funding it from her multimillion dollar estate? The wealth she never truly earned? That legacy? She was a PERFORMER with a mediocre movie as her acting career's one hit wonder and a singing career that has done nothing for society. I bet you can't name a single Purple Heart recipient EVER yet you know every word to every song in Grease? Right? Few celebrities deserve reverence and more than passing mourning from strangers. John did NOT do anything to earn such praise and mourning. She wasn't Princess Diana. She wasn't Mr. Rogers. She wasn't Robin Williams. All of which were tirelessly empathetic and ALTRUISTIC public personalities. But, lazy and shallow people always conflate mere celebrity with value in society. After all, you don't have to do any legwork or make any effort to sit on a couch and stan a random celebrity from a MEDIOCRE musical that aged poorly. The only reason I say GOOD RIDDANCE os to combat the idiots that didn't even know this woman - acting like she was mother teresa. She was a shallow, plastic surgery plastered PERFORMER that did LITTLE to contribute or "give back" to society for her unearned wealth and privilege in life. Most of you are incapable of understanding altruistic duty and true empathy though. Hence the empty praise for an empty PERFORMER.

Her song, Sam, still moves me when I hear it. What a classy woman she was to the end.

I was named after Olivia Newton John (and ironically as a child grease was my favorite movie). For years, I got teased about being named after her and I hated it, but now I feel so much regret being so negative about it. I'm proud to be an Olivia. I'm proud to have a connection to her. RIP one of the greatest actresses and singers to ever exist.

She was such a strong, positive soul attracting audiences with her beautiful voice and gentle personality. I'm very sad about her passing and find myself in a quiet mood of disbelief. Olivia, you'll never be forgotten and thank you for approaching and promoting cancer research and awareness making it a little less frightening for survivors and their families. RIP Angel.

[@PeopleHealthTru]

..Beautiful singer. Overcame cancer again in 2013. Diagnosed again in 2017 and by July 2021 had changed to a plant-based diet. But fasting a body into autophagy healing itself is a proven cure. Avoid all processed foods and artificial chemicals. If already thin, then feast and fast for autophagy. Medical industry can't profit from fasting. Beef is the most nutrient dense food.

Her singing voice is as gentle as a light spring rain to me. And of course her films are cinematic gems. I'm saddened today on the 9th. of August to learn of her decades long struggle with her cancer has ended her life. 😔 Her cancer died with her.
