Those black pants ONJ had on from wardrobe were genuine 1950's pants and they had to sew ONJ up in them because the zip was busted every day. She laughed and said "You can imagine I didn't eat and drink much on those days of filming". She retained the pants and decades later when she built her Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia she auctioned them off to help with the fonds and a billionaire bought them for $160,000 and eventually gave them back as a present to ONJ, which was nice of him.

In 1985 John attended a formal dinner at the White House, held in honor of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Nancy Reagan told John that Diana’s fantasy was to dance with him so, at the First Lady’s prompting, he invited Diana to join him on the dance floor. He was wearing a tuxedo and she had on a stunning dress. There doesn’t seem to be an actual video of them dancing but there are some iconic pictures of the event.

ONJ was, primarily, a huge pop star in the 70's and 80's. She did a little acting. She has a large and very popular catalog that y'all might want to dive into. Let's Get Physical was a bit of a cultural phenomenon in the 80's.

[@stuckinarkansas1]

@@theodoreritola7641 Sorry, I am not sure what you point is. She was already internationally known for singing long before Grease. Probably why she got the role of Sandy. Grease definitely was huge for her career. The Physical video in the 80's launched workout fashion trends very popular in the decade and some lasting to this day. Also the Physical video and Jane Fonds workouts launched the popularity of aerobic excercise in the 80's and much of that lasts until today in some form. My main point to the reactors is she is huge and her music might be of interest to them since reacting to music is what they do.

Growing up in the mid 1970s, one of many great T.V. sitcoms on the air was, "Welcome Back Kotter" starring Gabe Kaplan. This is where John Travolta got his start to stardom at the age of 21 playing the role of Vinnie Barbarino, the high school class cut up . His character was known for saying to his classmates as a put down, "Up your nose with a rubber hose!". Shortly after, he would go on to star in "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease".. Olivia Newton-John would become a music superstar in her own right with many hits in the U.S.

[@jjohn4874]

The T-Birds were supposed to be greasers. Before John Travolta was in the iconic movies "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fever", he had already become a star in the hit TV sit com, "Welcome Back Kotter". Olivia Newton John was also a star in her own right... she was already a very famous, Australian pop singer. A side note to that last scene in the movie... While Sandy tried to become more like one of the "Pink ladies", in secret, and as a surprise for Sandy, Danny Zuko had taken up a sport to impress her. At the end of their Senior year in high school, Danny had earned his "Letterman" sweater to give to Sandy. Both Sandy and Danny loved each other so much, they had each tried tried to change a little, to make the other one happy.

[@matthewdrake4385]

Both John and Olivia had great chemistry together in the movie. Though they tried to recreate the magic with other films,and those didnt get the praise of Grease, they remained great friends until her passing. If you want to see more of earlier Travolta, watch both Saturday Night Fever and Welcome Back Kotter. He just turned 70 recently. Fun fact: they were not the original choices for the lead roles. Henry Winkler aka The Fonz from happy days and Marie Ormond were the original choices, but they turned those roles down because they didn't want to be typecast.

This movie was released just after my high school graduation in 1978. I saw it in the theater because OLIVIA was in it. She was my crush from my freshman year all the way through until she passed away in August 2022. Her voice is incredible. Her first American hits were in the country music genre in 1973. Her first #1 came in 1974 with "I Honestly Love You". From that point on, she held a very special place in my heart. Truth be told, it was likewise for many guys back then. We all had Farrah Fawcett's poster on our walls; Stevie Nicks haunting certain kinds of dreams of teen year. But, Olivia was the one everybody wanted for a girlfriend. Grease was a watershed moment for her career too. Just like her character, her music changed right after that movie. Her songs became pop rock and had edgier subjects. "Physical" being a prime example. She had multiple hit albums and song for years after. The farewell scene is Grease became bittersweet when she passed. Any of her songs would be worth your reactions. Oh, and one of her songs, "Xanadu" is from a movie in which her co-star was Gene Kelly.

2 words about this scene.LEGENDARY/ICONIC

[@brentharker7868]

Travolta played teen heartthrob, Vinnie Barbarino, in the mid 70's TV show Welcome Back Kotter. His 1st movie hit was in Steven King's and Brian DePalma's horror classic "Carrie" in 1976. 1977's Saturday Night Fever shot him to fame with his white suit, disco dancing and his iconic movie opening, "Strut" to the Bee Gees, Disco Anthem, "Staying Alive". Disco was so fun. Olivia Newton John was the "Australian Neutron Bomb". She was most famous for her singing and music videos. You should react to her "Let's Get Physical", one of MTV's most popular vids ever. She dated singer, Andy Gibb, the Bee Gee's younger brother before he died young from cocaine use. Sadly, Andy was poised to join his brothers group when he succumbed to his demons.

[@supobostarman]

The nostalgia is all mine. This was a huge hit when I was in high school in the 70s. The soundtrack was all over the radio, John and Olivia were superstars and there was a big 50s thing going on in high school at the time because of this and the TV show Happy Days;

John Travolta was in the touring company of Grease before he got on TV and in movies. In 1975 he was on TV with Welcome Back, Kotter, and had a small part in the horror film Carrie. Within a few years he was nominated for an Oscar for the disco classic Saturday Night Fever, then Grease and Urban Cowboy had him in a trifecta of hits that influenced popular culture. Aussie national treasure Olivia Newton-John may look familiar because she died about a year and a half ago after a decades-long fight with cancer, so there were many retrospectives on her.

My favorite memory of this movie/song was back when it first came out in the 1970's. I was in the US Navy and my ship made a port visit to Athens, Greece. While I was out on liberty I stumbled across a movie theater that played American first run movies, Grease was playing. Given it was a musical, it was subtitled, so I was able to enjoy it. The shock I got was when the movie got to this scene/song. The entire audience sang with Olivia and John, in Greek accented English of course. It was the ONLY song the audience jumped in on. What a treat to experience that. Olivia was touring a few years back, before her death, and John came onstage and sang this song with her. They both still sounded great.

Phil you were wondering what other films you may have seen Olivia Newton John in. She wasn't really in films that much but rather she was one of the biggest pop music artists throughout the 1970s and into the 80s.

I was in music classes and eventually vocal ensemble and A Cappella groups because of her. She was in 3 movies, well unless you count the last Sharknado movie. Two with John, Grease and Two of a Kind, and Xanadu. Grease is the only one most remember though. She was a huge music artist though who sang country and pop and had #1's on both.

OMG you never heard of Olivia Newton John? She was big in the days....She does a great Duo with John Denver "Fly Away" but has alot of solo stuff that kinda has gotten burried over the years cause it was too mushy girly stuff but my sister was a big fan of hers. She just passed away recently after fighting for many of years with (I believe ) Cancer? Not sure but was sad none the less...An old school sweet girl icon of the 70's

A lot of great songs from this musical.

They used to play this song on top 40 radio back then, so you might have heard it there. They also did a live performance of Grease on broadcast TV around the holidays just a few years ago and this song was part of it, so you could have seen it there.

Such a fat bass riff. Love it!

Saturday night fever came out in 77, grease 78, and then he was in urban cowboy in 1980

[@theodoreritola7641]

And i think Urban Cowboy was FILMED in 1979 so 3 very busy years for john in the 1970s

The Movie and the Sound Track were monster hits.
