The nicest 'insult' Newton-John ever received

By Doug Elfman
Las Vegas Review-Journal

And then there was the time Barbara Bush told Olivia Newton-John she was "ugly" — but calm down, political animals, it was a joke.

Newton-John told me this story after I asked her to name the most famous fan she ever met.

She went back in time to the day she was in the company of then-President George H.W. Bush and first lady Barbara Bush.

"President Bush said to me, 'Oh, it's so lovely to see you again, we had dinner.'"

Newton-John thought, "I don't remember that," which may have seemed odd, of course, except it turned out they had met when Bush was merely vice president, a more forgettable position, perhaps, to an Australian singer.

"So I go to his wife, and I said to Barbara, 'I can't believe that your husband remembered me from a dinner,'" Newton-John said.

Barbara Bush told Newton-John, "It's because you're so ugly, dear,'" Newton-John recalled and laughed.

"I've loved her from that moment on. She was gorgeous," Newton-John said.

Lors d'un dîner (on suppose) à la maison blanche la first lady Barbara Bush avait lâché à ONJ  "C'est parce que vous êtes si laide, très chère, que mon mari c'est souvenu de vous" !
ONJ ne se rappelait pas d'un précédent dîner avec les Bush .. Georges .. si ! .... étonnant !
