Wow......although she has apparently been fighting an illness for a long time, still tragic news...

wow, indeed.

Saw her in concert when I was a very young child - can't remember any of it, she was supporting Cliff Richard - my sister is a fan.

Absolutely gorgeous woman, and it was only a couple of weeks ago I was listening to her first greatest hits album which is really, really good -it's from about 1974 and well before Grease and Physical and all that sort of stuff.

Shocked. She supported breast cancer sufferers worldwide, leading the campaign, having been a victim herself After taking a career break, she never quite reached those heights again, but what heights she reached? She brought joy to millions for her role playing Sandie in the film 'Grease' (1977) playing opposite John Travolta. Was she English, or Australian? RIP Olivia, a life definitely fulfilled.

"Tell me about it stud" was said just to me from Grease as a very young boy with hormones everywhere, she was stunning. Still a great watch today, all be it some of the lyrics can be seen as a bit rapey in todays world....

Apparently a wonderful human being that also done so much for breast cancer awareness.

Did not realise she sung for the UK in Eurovision as well, think ABBA won it that year.

RIP to a true icon.

A true icon indeed, and a proper star,

none of that Mariah Carey or Jennifer Lopez divas type crap, Olivia was just herself and never had any high notions.

May she rest in peace, you were a beautiful singer and a beautiful person. :heart:

A lot of love for ONJ and rightly so. First diagnosed with cancer 30 years ago she has been an amazing ambassador and raised millions. Beautiful inside and out
