Didi Conn Used Improv to Soothe Olivia Newton-John's First Day Jitters on the Grease Set (Exclusive)


  • Didi Conn opens up to PEOPLE about filming Grease and forging a friendship with Olivia Newton-John


When Olivia Newton-John brought Sandy’s first day jitters to life, she was experiencing her own.

Didi Conn, who played Sandy’s friend in the beloved 1978 film Grease, opens up to PEOPLE exclusively about working with Newton-John, who died in 2022 at age 73. Conn, 74, says that on their first day on set, Newton-John, who had found success as a singer but had limited acting experience, was anxious.

“The first scene in the movie was her scene of walking onto the campus of Rydell with Frenchy, and she was nervous,” Conn says. Part of her concern was that she was older than John Travolta, who starred as Danny Zuko, but Conn didn’t think she had to worry. “They did a screen test, and if you ever see that, she's so beautiful, she just looked exactly 'teenager,' ” she says.

Olivia Newton-John to Make Surprise Appearance During 'Grease' Night on 'Dancing with the Stars'




Olivia Newton-John is heading back to the ballroom!

It has been announced that the 73-year-old actress will be appearing on Dancing with the Stars on Monday night (October 18) when the couples will dance to songs from her iconic 1978 musical film Grease – and she will be reuniting with two of her former co-stars!

“Olivia Newton-John will be making a surprise guest appearance on Monday’s show, in support of the competing couples who will dance to the music from her iconic film role,” a DWTS rep shared with E! News.

If you forgot, Olivia played lead character Sandy in Grease.

Appearing alongside Olivia will be Didi Conn, who played Frenchie in Grease, along with Frankie Avalon, who will be singing his character Teen Angel’s song “Beauty School Dropout” live from the ballroom.

This will be Olivia‘s second time appearing on DWTS. She guest-judged a season 21 episode back in 2015.

The 11 celebrity contestants and their pro dancers will be performing routines inspired by Grease.

ON THIS DAY



In 1978, the movie version of "Grease" opened in North American theaters.



Le 16 juin 1978, GREASE sortait sur les écrans américains !


Le couple TRAVOLTA/NEWTON-JOHN était catapulté au rang de mégastar ... 41 ans plus tard, on en parle encore !



.... et moi, j'allais gentiment grossir les rangs des ados tombés en affection pour Olivia Newton-John ..
Elle est devenue "ma muse", sa voix et sa musique m'ont permis de tenir toutes ces années, dans les plus mauvais instants de ma vie .. sa philosophie de la vie m'a aussi ouvert la voie sur un monde que l'on peut construire meilleur ..

CAMEO


Aurons nous cette chance d'entendre la jolie voix d'ONJ à travers un nouvel album pour 2019 ?

Les américains pourront voir son Biopic avec Delta Goodrem en février sur le petit écran et lire sa bio officielle en mars !
A défaut d'un album, on pourra voir son légendaire sourire, brièvement (?) dans le nouveau film de Paul Hogan "The Very Excellent Mr Dundee" avec aussi le légendaire Chevy Chase ! Espérons qu'ONJ ne sera pas coupée au montage final :-)
