Olivia Newton-John

Olivia Newton-John gets the most credit for her character, Sandy, in the film adaptation of the musical film, Grease. But even before that, she was already making a name for herself in the music industry. However, it was her film with John Travolta that immediately gave her the shot to success. As part of one of the most popular box-office films in history, she was recognized as both an actress and a singer. However, she’s also a songwriter, dancer, entrepreneur and activist.

Recently, she’s been battling with cancer and her efforts to raise awareness and help those with the same condition are deeply appreciated by those she inspires. She was awarded the Order of the British Empire in the 2020 Queen’s New Year Honours List for her contributions to charity, cancer research and entertainment. She has a different understanding of the healthy life she has lost and recovered.
