Hopelessly devoted to life

La coupure de Web du jour .. du magazine LIFE BEGINS AT, magazine pour ceux qui sont à la retraite, en semi-retraite ou sur le point de prendre leur retraite.
Mais surtout, ceux qui croient que la vie commence vraiment à 50 ans ...

At a time when Cher seems to be stealing the limelight for her ageless cameo in the Mamma Mia! sequel, it’s worth remembering who was at the forefront of the 1970s music revolution that put fashion, finesse and fun back into a scene that had been seriously lacking an uplifting slant.

Some 40 years on, and despite a succession of profound life challenges, our very own Olivia Newton-John insists Sandra Dee’s youthful optimism has never left her. In fact, it continues to carry her forward into new tomorrows, as Frank Grice discovers.

While Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Flashdance and various other musical romantic comedies rarely diminish in terms of their relevance to popular music and popular culture, Olivia Newton-John is the first to admit that the stars of the show aren’t quite as agile and spritely as they once were. “That’s the beautiful thing about film,” she begins; “we’re all set in time… set in stone, almost. Film stars are notorious for complaining about something or other – the travelling, the work schedules, the autographs… but being captured at their very best and preserved forevermore like that… we’re comfortable with that!”

From a very first answer, it’s clear the just turned 70-year-old hasn’t lost any of the brightness that made her a global sweetheart. And that’s no mean feat given everything the bubbly actress, singer, songwriter, entrepreneur and activist has been through, because as if battling breast cancer at the age of 44 wasn’t enough, Newton-John then had to weather a divorce – from American actor and singer Matt Lattanzi – that made her a single mum to daughter, Chloe, now 30.

Happily, a decade ago she married partner John Easterling, and continues to sell out concert venues the world over, whilst also embarking on a number of initiatives to boost awareness and positivity around her wellness programs and initiatives.
