"I couldn't do an American accent, and I was too old," she told the Today show in 2019. A regular on local radio and TV shows, she won a talent contest and ended up recording country-pop songs in the U.S. For "Let me Be There," she won her first Grammy award in 1973. The song made her uncomfortable, Newton-John told NPR in 2012. "Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer," it reads in part. Olivia Newton-John, one of the biggest pop stars in the 1970s and early 1980s, has died at the age of 73.

Olivia Newton-John, the beloved actor and singer who famously starred in Grease, has died following several years-long battles with breast cancer.

In the early ‘90s, Newton-John was diagnosed with breast cancer and spent the last decades of her life advocating for breast cancer research and other humanitarian causes—while still performing and acting. In 1971 she released If Not For You, a hit covers album, but her second album failed to make as much of an impact (it wasn’t officially released in the U.S.), and she released a third called Let Me Be There in 1973. Olivia Newton-John, the beloved actor and singer who famously starred in Grease, has died following several years-long battles with breast cancer.

She amassed No. 1 hits, chart-topping albums and four records that sold more than two million copies each. More than anything else, she was likable, ...

Applying the evolution of her “Grease” character to her singing career, Ms. Newton-John titled her next album “Totally Hot,” and presented herself on the cover in shoulder-to-toe leather. Despite her own treatments, she continued to release albums and tour but failed to make headway on the charts. She published a memoir, “Don’t Stop Believin,’” in 2018. After learning she had breast cancer in 1992, Ms. Newton-John became an ardent advocate for research into the disease. “Olivia Physical” won the Grammy in 1982 for video of the year. “It annoys me when people think because it’s commercial, it’s bad,” she told Rolling Stone. “It’s completely opposite. The death was announced by her husband, John Easterling. She had lived with a breast cancer diagnosis since 1992 and in 2017 announced that the cancer had returned and spread. When Ms. Newton-John was 6, her family immigrated to Melbourne, Australia, where her father worked as a college professor and administrator. Though her sales dipped as the 1970s turned into the ’80s, by early in the decade she began the most commercially potent period in her career, peaking with the single “Physical,” which spent 10 weeks on Billboard’s top perch. By the mid-’80s, her career had cooled. Later, the magazine declared it to be the biggest song of the 1980s. An entry into movies in 1978 aimed to put the singer’s chaste image behind her, starting with “Grease.” Her character, Sandy, transformed from a pigtailed square smitten with John Travolta’s bad-boy Danny to a gum-smacking bad girl.

Pop Sweetheart, 'Grease' Star Olivia Newton-John Dies at 73 - GV ... (gvwire.com)

Singer, actor, and health activist Olivia Newton-John died Monday morning at age 73 at her California ranch, according to her family.

Newton-John was the daughter of German literature professor Brin Newton-John and Irene Bron, whose father was Nobel Prize-winning physicist Max Bron. The Newton-Johns moved to Australia when Olivia was 5, but she returned to England in her teens and lived with her mother after her parents broke up. “Everything about making the film was fun, but if I had to pick a favorite moment, it was the transformation from what I call Sandy 1 to Sandy 2. I got to play a different character and wear different clothes, and when I put on that tight black outfit to sing ‘You’re the One That I Want,’ I got a very different reaction from the guys on the set.” She had a few hits after “Physical,” but her career declined and Newton-John became more likely to make news because of her private life. But Newton-John had a show business admirer who with her became one of movies’ most unforgettable teams. She had loved country music, especially the records of “Tennessee” Ernie Ford, since childhood, but her early success didn’t impress critics or some fellow musicians. It’s already gone to radio and it’s running up the charts.’ I was horrified!” The blonde, ever-smiling Newton-John initially favored mild pop-country songs such as “Please Mr. Please” and “Have You Never Been Mellow” and soft-breathing ballads like “I Honestly Love You,” which in 1975 won Grammys for best female pop vocal and record of the year. Newton-John married Easterling, founder of the Amazon Herb Company, in 2008. The singer revealed in 2018 that she was receiving treatment for cancer at the base of her spine. “Dame Olivia Newton-John passed away peacefully at her ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends. An aerobics-friendly promotional clip, filmed in the early years of MTV, won a Grammy for best video.

"Es muy difícil vivir con eso", le dijo a Larry King de CNN en 2006.

Olivia Newton-John, pop singer and star of 'Grease,' dies at 73 (NBC News)

Olivia Newton-John, the British Australian pop singer who found stardom with "Grease," has died at 73. The "Physical" singer spoke publicly about her ...

"(At 29 years old) she wasn't sure she would look the part of a 17-year-old and wanted to make sure she and John looked like they could be contemporaries," Kleiser said. "Olivia was the essence of summer – her sunniness, her warmth and her grace are what always come to mind when I think of her. She notched her biggest hit with the song "Physical" in November 1981. Amid a mostly storybook life came a plot twist only slightly more believable than "Xanadu": Tragedy seemed to strike when her boyfriend of nine years, Patrick McDermott, then 48, went missing and was presumed dead after failing to return from a fishing trip off the coast of California in 2005. "Olivia Newton-John was our first choice for the part of Sandy, but she had a few concerns," Kleiser recalled by email. But it became an even more personal cause a year later, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time. After her father took a job at a college in Australia, the family moved to Melbourne when Newton-John was 5. In the late '70s and early '80s, Newton-John was one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world. You have to make that decision," she told the "TODAY" show in March 2019. But it would be as a solo artist, starting in 1966, that Newton-John would hit her true potential. But from an early age, it seemed she was not destined to follow into the family business of academia. "Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer.
