Grease? Pfft...it ruined her as much as Travolta ruined Gilly's.
THIS is what made her famous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR8hCFfvZPk

The second Australian singer to die this past week. Judith Durham, lead singer of the Seekers died on the 5th of August. Sad day for Australia.

Olivia was in a battle with Farrah for my teenage heart. Together, they made Xanadu and Logan's Run cinematic tour de forces.that almost unseated Animal House as my favorite movie of all time. Then Olivia went and made that Let's Get Physical video while I was away at college and left Farrah in the dust.

So close to Judith Durham's death this past week. A sad week for music lovers, two lovely voices stilled.

Really sad to hear. I always think of her as that young, beautiful singer, dancing and entertaining.
RIP, Sandy.......Olivia. And I really enjoyed her duets with John Denver, too. Also dead way too early.

I worked at her Accounting / Business Management Firm in the 70’s. She was a very nice, decent person. RIP.

God rest her. I never really noticed her until Xanadu. After that I was in love. What a beauty. Glad her suffering has ended.

I've had a crush on her going back to 4th grade. She had a great voice and was such champion for breast cancer.

Very sad. I had a boyhood crush on her. Talented, beautiful voice and smile. And she was down to earth.
RIP, Olivia

We all know she was vaccinated and boosted. But no one will say that’s what killed her.

She had a phenomenal voice, but seemingly a rather sad personal life. She always kept her head held high and didn't mope and whine like so many today. Her talent will be missed.
Here's a YouTube video of an analysis of her singing, "Sam," live, in which the host explains her incredible range and control: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LRU4p-TNcY

#18 / #19, her jab status aside, she battled three rounds of metastatic breast cancer over the course of the past 30 years, long before KungFlu existed.
In addition to treating her cancer with "plants", she also had a mastectomy and endured chemotherapy. Sounds like she fought this thing from all angles.
By the way, many anti-cancer (and other) medications are either direct or synthetic derivations of plant extracts.
