New Idea
22 Jul 2019
Olivia Newton-john, 70, has revealed she is desperate to become a grandmother.
The Grease star confessed to Page Six she hopes daughter Chloe Lattanzi, 33, will start a family with her fiancé James Driskell soon.“i would love that, but yeah I have ‘granddogs’ right now,” she said.
Chloe penned a tribute to her actress mother last year, admitting she was warming to the idea of having kids. “Having a baby has been on my mind a lot lately, and when I’m ready I know Mum will be the best support system.”
Despite battling cancer for the third time, Olivia confirmed she is feeling “really well”.
She said recently: “Every day’s a gift anyway. We don’t know how long our life is.”

Why my sexy Grease trousers are worth a million: Olivia Newton-John recalls her iconic dance scene with John Travolta in Grease in figure-hugging pants that had to be SEWN on
Her debut as Sandy in the 1978 movie took the world by storm. She has kept Sandy's biker rig in her wardrobe at home for the past 40 years.
The trousers, which are actually 1950s vintage, were skin-tight, even when she, aged 29, played lissom Sandy. At the start of the day's filming, she was stitched into them because the zip had broken — and unstitched every time she needed a wee.
And yes! When she tried them on a couple of years back she still managed to shoe-horn herself into them. 'Although I had lost quite a bit of weight at the time because it was just after I'd got ill,' she says.
She decided the time had come to auction them (along with other film memorabilia) for the benefit of her hospital when the film celebrated its 40th birthday last year.
'I hope to raise a million dollars,' she says. 'It won't be a wrench to part with them because they were never really mine. They were Sandy's. And, of course, they'll help fund my research centre.
'So selling them is a joyful thing. And I think as you get older, you want to simplify things. You have so much stuff and that's not what's important in life. Memories are enough.'
And what memories they are. 'I'm still in contact with a whole bunch of people from Grease,' she says. Didi Conn, who played Frenchy, remains a close friend.' And, of course, Olivia and Travolta, now 65, have always kept in touch.
I tell her he once described her, in siren Sandy guise, as 'Marilyn Monroe mixed with biker-girl chic', and she laughs. 'Did he? Well I'll take anything mixed with Marilyn Monroe as a compliment.'
I wonder how she'd describe the film's 24-year-old Travolta and she says: 'Oh, he was gorgeous; broodingly handsome in a James Dean way and he had an inherent goodness about him, even when he was playing [bad boy] Danny.
'John's sexiness was combined with innocence. He was sweet, sincere and vulnerable. Those blue eyes had pain behind them: he'd recently lost his girlfriend, actress Diana Hyland, to breast cancer.
'He was all the leading men rolled into one person — he could act, dance and sing — and he had all that charisma and those incredible movie-star looks.
'I thought he was sexy, of course, and there was undoubtedly chemistry between us. But we both had partners at the time and neither of us would have cheated on them, so there was no romance.'
