Such sad news but not unexpected considering how sick she was.
My condolances goes out to her family, friends and co-stars.
I love Olivia. I think she's one of those celebrities that spread a lot of positivity, love and light around her. She was an activist who cared deeply about animal rights and also helping other people who were also battling cancer. Her long fight with the disease gave hope to other people that if she could beat it so could they.
My parents went to watch Grease (1978) when it first came out in the cinema together with my cousins. I don't remember how old I was the first time I saw the movie, but it's been one that my whole family have always enjoyed watching and we've seen it countless times and also heard the soundtrack a lot. I have it both on DVD and blu Ray and I have a 20th anniversary movie poster framed.
I have also enjoyed Olivia's other work. I have seen her in Xanadu, Two of a Kind (where she co-starred with John Travolta again) Human Nature (tv-series) and my sister and I have several of her albums. My favorite being her "Gaia" album.
This song was about how she was not going to give into her cancer:
Her brave battle is over now. But at least she is in a better place now. Rest in Peace Olivia and thank you for all you gave to the world.
