Delta Goodrem is gearing up for the release of the Seven mini-series Hopelessly Devoted To You where she plays Australian entertainment icon Olivia Newton-John
And Goodrem, has revealed the moment when she accidentally met the real Newton-John when she was just seven years old.
“It was a passing moment — it was fate,” Goodrem told InStyle, out today.
“I was seven and I’d just gone to Phantom of the Opera with my mum in New York.
“(We were) sitting having a hot chocolate in a cafe and I saw Olivia walk in and I said ‘Oh my God, Sandy, Sandy’s here’.
“She heard my Australian accent and walked over to my table. I’ll never forget it. She said ‘Are you from Australia?’ I said ‘Yes’ and she said ‘Well, I hope I see you around tomorrow’.
“So all the next day in New York I was looking for Olivia. My parents were like ‘Delta!’ I remember it like it was yesterday. When I got diagnosed (with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2003), Olivia wrote me a beautiful letter and that’s how we started, and we had a journey together from there.”
The 33-year-old singer and actress said she had recently been spending more time with Newton-John in Los Angles recording songs for the Olivia mini-series soundtrack.
“She’s been an angel, a total mentor,” she told InStyle.
“It’s a very deep spiritual connection. She always took me under her wing.
“Once I was writing a song for one of her albums and we were in Byron Bay staying at Gaia (a retreat co-owned by Newton-John).
She’d get up really early and say, ‘Come on, Delta, let’s go.’
“I feel like that’s a symbol of what she does (for me). She’s always been a guiding light.”
Merci Kay !
