La mini-série devrait sans doute être diffusée (enfin) sur le petit écran vers la fin du mois d'avril ou mai .... après les Jeux du Commonwealth qui se déroulent du 4 ou 15 avril.... à suivre !

DELTA GOODREM says playing OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN is the role of a lifetime. “This is a project I couldn’t be more excited for people to see,” Goodrem said. “I feel really proud of it. It’s a celebration of an incredible woman, who has inspired generations, including me. She will fo forever be my mentor and my idol, and also my friend.”
“Olivia influenced my earliest years as an evolving artist and became the backbone of influence to living my life and heart as a proud Australian artist. I aspired to have her grace, humility and talent from the time I started singing,” Goodrem said of playing the 69-year-old in Channel 7s Hopelessly Devoted To You.
“I grew up with Olivia’s energy and beautiful voice in my world through her music, and then from an early age I was truly blessed to find friendship and mentorship from Olivia. She is an icon. I am deeply humbled to play my idol and friend, and I am truly excited to share with people a part of Olivia’s life story.”
Channel 7’s Olivia: Hopelessly Hopel Devoted to You is tipped to air after the Commonwealth Games end in mid-April. That may see it screened against Goodrem on The Voice on Channel 9, which is also rumoured to air mid-April.
While Newton-John has given the project her tick of approval, it still delves into the darker chapters of her life, including the disappearance of ex-boyfriend PATRICK MCDERMOTT.
Goodrem recreates seminal moments in Newton-John’s career, including the musical Grease and the Physical video .
Goodrem is joined in the two-part series by GYTON GRANTLEY (who plays her Australian manager ROGER DAVIES, who now looks after PINK), GEORGE XANTHIS as JOHN TRAVOLTA, TODD LASANCE as her early manager and boyfriend LEE KRAMER, and RICHARD BRANCATISANO as husband MATT LATTANZI. Wentworth star KATE JENKINSON plays her friend PAT CARROLL, ROBYN MALCOLM plays her mother IRENE and the miniseries also features actors playing PETER ALLEN, HELEN REDDY, IAN
TURPIE and JOHNNY O’KEEFE. Newcomer MORGAN
Morgan GRIFFIN plays Newton John from age 16, with Goodrem taking over from age 22.
The miniseries was filmed in Melbourne and Goodrem has re-recorded some of Newton-John’s biggest hits for the soundtrack.
