MEMORY

Olivia Newton-John was just 15 years old when she started on the path to stardom and a lengthy career — something she’s been reflecting on recently.

“I’m writing a book right now so I’ve been thinking about things I haven’t thought about for a long time,” Newton-John said in a recent phone interview. “It’s hard to imagine that I did all of those things. It’s been a fantastic career, I’m very grateful and the fact I’m still going makes it even better.”

C'est donc confirmé ONJ s'attache à dévoiler son autobiographie ...et c'est super cool au vu de sa longue et formidable carrière ! 
En attendant .. elle sera ce soir au Fantasy Springs Resort Casino

Olivia Newton-John was born on 26 September 1948 in Cambridge, England, the youngest of three children. The family emigrated to Australia when she was five, when her father, Brinley or ‘Bryn’, was appointed dean of the University of Melbourne’s Ormond College. Given her family pedigree, it seemed inevitable that she would be wise beyond her years from a young age. Her grandfather was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist whose best friend was Albert Einstein, her father was a Second World War Enigma code breaker. But it was clear early on that her aptitude was for singing, not science – at 15 months old, she could recognise musical notes and imitate them; by two, she was pitch perfect.

By the time she was a teenager, Newton-John was obsessed with pop music and sang all the time at home. In public, however, it was a different story. ‘If they asked me at school 
to get up and sing, I was always too shy,’ she said. It was her older sister, Rona, who entered Newton-John, aged 12, into a competition to find a lookalike for British child star Hayley Mills. She won and it gave her the confidence to perform publicly, motivating her to form a band called Sol Four, which eventually led to appearances on television. Her big break came in 1964, when she was 16. Newton-John won a talent show called Sing, Sing, Sing – the prize was a trip to England. Once there, she was offered a one-single deal with Decca Records to record her debut, Till You Say You’ll Be Mine. Shortly afterwards, she met Bruce Welch, guitarist and songwriter with The Shadows, and they became engaged in 1968.
