I especially enjoyed hearing about her friends and the funny and sad stories. When she talked about her friend Karen Carpenter's death you could feel her sense of loss and sadness. She even began to cry and it brought me to tears. The same when she spoke of her sister Rona's death. What an incredible human being she is. She works at such a positive mindset. Not only has she marked herself as one of the greatest singers of this time but also a great humanitarian for the planet and a champion for cancer awareness and wellbeing. I think even if you are not a fan (but who doesn't love Grease!) everyone should read this book. I think once you read it you will find yourself to be one! It's that inspiring!♥️ Billed as 'Lovely Livvy', she filled in as hostess on Seven's Happy Show over the summer of 1964–65 and then - against her Cambridge University-educated father Bryn's wishes - Newton-John left school to follow her dream. My uncle Gustav, who sadly died recently at age ninety-six, listened to his father, who advised him to become a doctor because “you won’t have to kill people, and you’re less likely to be killed.” I guess this will be the fun part,’ I told the technician as he poked a small, needle-like pen through flesh to mark my hips.

Ex-England footballer Kieron Dyer, 44, reveals how he turned 'yellow as Bart Simpson' and nearly died from liver disease just 11 weeks ago - before 'miracle' transplant gave him a second shot at life We all know we are going to die... I think we spend our lives denying it. It's extremely personal. I find it hard to put into words, I feel we are all part of one thing, I have had experiences with spirits or spirit life and felt the spirit world and have heard things, that I believe there is something that happens.' Of course, I was a young child and full of energy, so there were a few unfortunate moments, including when I swallowed a bunch of sleeping pills by mistake. I had to have my stomach pumped, and the whole experience was so mortifying and memorable that no wonder drugs of any kind have never interested me again. This was reflected in the risque song she was given to sing, with lyrics saying that though she was '16 now ... One of these days, when I grow up, I'm gonna make love to you'. One of the most beautiful lessons I learned at this time was from my mum, who combined kindness with forgiveness. When my dad had children with his new wife, she sent gifts for the babies.Paying tribute: Her daughter Chloe Lattanzi shared a photo with her mother just three days before her death, writing: 'I worship this woman. My mother. My best friend'

It makes me sad now because my mother was always very interested in science but was dissuaded from following that path. Women weren’t encouraged to go into academia in those days, and this was a particular shame, given her father’s scientific past. He added: 'They, of course, shared an enormously close bond after starring in one of the world's favourite movies together. Olivia leaves such a great hole in the world.John had recommended her for the role and Olivia said that when they met on the set at Paramount in LA, the chemistry was undeniable Eight more small boats filled with migrants wrapped in red blankets and scarves land in Dover after making perilous Channel crossing - taking total to 28,072 this year I grew up in a household that worshipped movie musicals, so Olivia Newton-John is a face and voice I’ve known well since childhood. As a fan of films such as Grease and Xanadu, I’ve always had a soft spot for Olivia, particularly as a successful Aussie, but I wouldn’t call myself an avid follower of her personal life beyond her more well known acting roles and musical achievements, and of course her courageous battle with breast cancer. In a haunting interview with The Guardian in 2020, she said of the disease: 'It's been a part of my life for so long.

I insisted on additional testing and found that the bump was actually a recurrence of my breast cancer.

My father, Brin, came from far more humble beginnings. He was born to a middle-class family in Wales, where his father, Oliver John, worked as a carpenter. His mother, Daisy, was a very strict Quaker woman who would wash my dad’s mouth out with soap if he ever swore or said anything close to blasphemy. Olivia also shared her thoughts on death and faith, saying she believed there was something out there after you die.

When I was a little girl, Dad would sing out loudly in church, but I was embarrassed by it because I didn’t want to be noticed. He had a wonderful sense of humor and would tease me by pretending to be a really old man, crinkling his fingers and speaking in a creaky voice. I laughed and laughed.

My only memory of the ocean voyage from Cambridge to our new life in that place called Melbourne was losing my favorite teddy bear, Fluffy. I was brokenhearted because I loved Fluffy, but my parents replaced it with a stuffed penguin named Pengy (so creative!) that they found in the ship’s store. It was never quite the same, though. Some things are irreplaceable, as I would soon find out in much bigger ways. My mum, Irene Helene Born, was the daughter of Nobel Prize–winning Max Born, a German physicist and mathematician who was one of the founders of quantum mechanics. Albert Einstein was a close friend, and when my mother was a young girl, Einstein spent many evenings in her family house playing the violin while my grandfather played piano. My mother would later translate a book of letters between Albert Einstein and Max Born called The Born–Einstein Letters. My German grandfather was the first person to sign an antinuclear proliferation treaty because he was strongly opposed to war. He was also a good friend of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist credited with being the father of the atomic bomb, but my grandfather refused to collaborate with him on anything that was destructive or would hurt people. In 1933, my Jewish grandfather fled from Germany with his wife, Hedwig, to escape Hitler’s regime. He was not only a brilliant mind but also a humanitarian who helped Jews escape Germany. I’m extremely proud of my peace-loving grandfather. That night, she took the heat off my foolish “crime” with her own antics. She had been expelled from school for wearing her school uniform skirts too short and bleaching her hair. She also skipped school to meet with boys.
