It’s been 45 years since the musical “Grease' starring Olivia Newton-John as Sandy and John Travolta as Danny stole our hearts.
The "Paper Roses" singer reflects on her friendship with the late singer, who died in 2022 at age 73 after a lengthy battle with breast cancer." was released in theaters, making John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John household names.
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN ADMITTED SHE HAD A CRUSH ON ‘GREASE’ CO-STAR JOHN TRAVOLTA, CALLING ATTRACTION ‘MAGIC'Olivia Newton-John almost turned down the role of Sandy Olsson out of fear of being humiliated on screen.initially turned down the opportunity to star in the film. The film's casting director, Joel Thurm, told Fox News Digital in February 2023 that Travolta really wanted Newton-John to play his love interest but that she was hesitant to take on the role.
After a successful screen test, it was clear to Newton-John and to executives that she was the right choice. Thurm said he was happy she accepted the role, saying,"We had no backup for the role. She was it." "They were so old, and there was just one pair, so there was no room for error. One rip and disaster," she wrote."When I tried on those pants for the first time, the zipper was broken and [the costume designer] Albert didn’t want to rip them trying to put in a new one or remove the old one. Instead, I’d be sewn into them each morning!"
"Then I saw the one where the hot dog jumps into the bun, and I said, 'Hey, do you think we could sync that moment with the playback, so it ends the song at that moment?' These technical guys figured out how to take the playback tape and make it happen, which is pretty complicated to do. Digitally it would be very easy, but back then, with tape and playback, I don't know how they did it. But when we saw it, it was perfect.
Four original songs were written for the movie, including the film's theme song,"Grease," which plays during the opening credits of the movie. They also added"Sandy," which Danny sings at the drive-in,"Hopelessly Devoted to You" and the duet"You're the One That I Want," both of which were written for Newton-John.
"I would get up close to them and see if they had any crow's feet around their eyes, and that would show they were beyond the surreal age that we had determined would work," Kleiser told Vanity Fair in 2016."High school kids could not have crow's feet." "It was all over the news, so everyone knew," Kleiser told the New York Post in 2010."We did this number, and everybody kind of looked at each other, like, ‘Yeah, this is creepy.'"
