My first "crush" was a combination of Mariska Veres and Michelle Phillips... loved them both the same lol. 

 

I had No idea that she was battling breast cancer for 30 years... that's iron woman territory.

Part of my childhood just died with her.

RIP, Olivia.

Very sad to hear this.  Like many of you, she was a childhood crush of mine, who never seemed to age.

God bless.

RIP Sandy.

My parents recently gave me a handmade wooden box (small - about a foot long, and 4 inches high and deep) that once belonged to my great grandfather and ended up in our house in the 70s.  The reason they gave it to me is because when you open it, written on the inside of the lid is "Olivea (sic) Newton-John is the best!"

 

I wrote it when I was 7-years-old.  

 

That same year, I remember flipping sh!it when the first present I opened for Christmas was an album other than the Grease soundrack (I don't remember what album it was).  I remember my mom scrambling to find the Grease album, which I did still get for Christmas.

 

Great memories.

On SiriusXM First Wave Channel, Richard Blade announced her passing, and played Summer Nights. 

 

Such sad news. Rest in peace.

Why the hell did they play a song from Van Halen's 5150?  Great tune, though!

I used to call her Olivia Neutron Bomb, because when I saw her I thought I died and went to heaven.

Seemed like a decent person, nice singer from an era when entertainers remembered their job was to entertain- rather than trying to force their political views down our throats. 
She had very rare quality- she could be the most wholesome peaches and cream girl next door, and at the same time be as sexy and desirable as any fantasy pinup girl.  Rest In Peace.

We had that album too and my cousin played it so much when she visited she ended up breaking the needle on my parents record player.

Travolta -- whatever you think of him -- wrote a very touching goodbye to ONJ on his Insta.

When I think of her, she looks something like this in my mind:

I remember growing up in my teenage years wanting to get physical with her more than once...
