Une nouvelle coupe de cheveux qui avait fait parlé d'elle ..
LA MARCHE DU BIEN ETRE
Olivia Newton-john’s decades long love affair with her Grease co-star John Travolta has been laid bare in a revealing new biography.
In Matthew Hild’s newly released A Little More Love: The Life and Legacy of Olivia Newton-john, the author interviewed those closest to the singer and actress, who sadly passed away on August 8, 2022, after a long-fought battle with breast cancer, aged 73.
“I don’t quite have the smoking gun, but I think the preponderance of evidence is pretty darn suggestive,” he told People magazine of what he turned up.
Among the stories he uncovered was one from actress Didi Conn, who played Frenchy in Grease. Speaking with journalist Stephanie Nolasco, she said she believed John, now 72, had a genuine attraction to Olivia and there was no faking their on-screen chemistry in the 1978 film.
‘They weren’t acting … it was real’
In fact, they shot an alternate ending to the movie in which their characters, Danny and Sandy, indulged in a “juicy” kiss.
“They weren’t acting at that moment … it was real, it really was,” Didi insisted.
While the pair stayed in each other’s orbits for the next four decades – even re-teaming for 1983 rom-com Two of a Kind, which further sparked romance rumours – ultimately, Hild notes that John’s devotion to Scientology is what stopped anything from developing between them.
“More than 20 years after Grease was filmed, a musician who had been married to a Scientologist joined Olivia’s band and became friends with her,” he wrote. “He says that Olivia and Travolta ‘were very, very close. Almost that close.’”
He recalled a conversation the pair had, in which the Australian star asked her bandmate if she would be expected to become a Scientologist if she were to marry the actor.
Though he insisted it “would not have been mandatory”, he said it “would have been encouraged, put it that way”. Olivia simply replied, “Thank you. That’s all I want to know.”
In 2018, Olivia said on the No Filter podcast she felt the pair not giving in to their real-life attraction only added to their on-screen chemistry.
“I think it was good, because I think it kept the tension there and the chemistry,” she said. “It might have been a real disaster had we decided to date or we had a falling out or something.”
She added that both were “with other people” during filming and “respectfully, it just didn’t happen”.
Upon her death in 2022, John shared a touching tribute to his “dearest Olivia” on Instagram. “I love you so much,” he wrote. “We will all be together again. Yours from the moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John!”
Faire du buzz sur une probable aventure sentimentale qui n'a pas, semble t-il, aboutie à cause de la scientologie (??) .. pourquoi pas ... après tout le duo TRAVOLTA - NEWTON-JOHN passionne les nouvelles générations ...
Après .. l'auteur et son livre s'engouffrent dans un vide laissé par ceux qui sont supposer gérer l'héritage artistique de l'artiste ..

La cliente la plus fidèle de Mason a été Olivia Newton-John. Ils ont travaillé ensemble pendant près de 50 ans. Mason a même donné son nom à sa fille. « J’ai encore la gorge serrée et je pleure à cause de sa perte », dit-il, faisant référence à la mort de Newton-John d’un cancer en 2022. « La dernière fois que nous sommes allés la voir, elle pouvait à peine marcher. Mais elle est sortie avec son déambulateur et s’est fait servir du thé. Nous nous sommes assis près de sa piscine et elle a commencé à plaisanter et à rire. Elle était tellement incroyable qu’elle a pu sortir du lit et passer un après-midi avec nous deux mois avant la fin.
Son travail avec Newton-John a également donné lieu aux victoires juridiques dont Mason est le plus fier. Ceux-ci lui ont valu la propriété des enregistrements originaux de ses succès. « À l’époque, aucun artiste n’avait possédé de master, pas même Elvis Presley », explique Mason. « Mais la propriété des masters était un concept qui, selon moi, avait fait son temps. Cela signifie qu’il était temps pour les artistes de s’approprier leurs enregistrements.
John Travolta et Stockard Channing semblent être visiblement absents d’un nouveau projet de réunion du casting de Grease - au grand désarroi des fans du monde entier.
Alors que la plupart des Pink Ladies et des T-Birds survivants du film ont sauté à bord pour participer au prochain documentaire sur le making-of Life After Grease, John, 71 ans, et Stockard, 81 ans, ne figurent pas dans le teaser, ni ne sont inclus dans la liste des sujets interviewés.
"John ne peut tout simplement pas se résoudre à y retourner sans Sandy à ses côtés. Il n’a même pas « snobé » le projet, mais il l’a refusé assez rapidement. "Stockard et John ont apparemment parlé au téléphone de faire ce projet et ont convenu qu’ils avaient tous les deux été interrogés des milliers de fois sur tous les aspects de leur expérience Grease ; Il est grand temps de laisser les autres membres de la distribution s’amuser".

Bonne chance aux Ebuyers !!

Tottie Goldsmith has shared an emotional tribute to her late aunt Olivia Newton-John to mark the two-year anniversary of her death.
LA COUPURE DU NEW IDEA
Olivia Newton-John’s widower John Easterling has made the difficult decision to sell the $13.6 million California ranch where the singer spent her final days.
“It’s devastating for everyone, but this is a money issue,” shares an ONJ insider about the movie producer, 72. “The maintenance on the estate and the annual tax bill is crazy.”
According to the source, the news is “absolutely heartbreaking” for Olivia’s daughter Chloe, 38. “She has so many memories shared with her mum on that ranch. The horses, all named by Olivia, ridden by her, the house, the garden, it’s going to be incredibly difficult for Chloe to let this property go.”
But, says the source, “Sadly they have no choice. To keep that ranch would have financially impacted all the good work being done by Olivia’s charities and foundations. They made a promise to her they’d keep saving lives.
“She wanted her legacy to be about her philanthropic work, and she wanted it to continue after she had gone. There will be a few tears shed when this place sells, but it’s what Olivia would have wanted.”
Olivia Newton-john’s cherished Southern California ranch has been put up for auction by her husband, John Easterling, less than two years after her death.
The late singer chose to spend her final days at the stunning property before she passed away aged 73 in August 2022. It has now been listed by John, 72, for approximately S14 million.
Although John didn’t explain his motivation for selling the property, he did tell People magazine that it was a place that held “many wonderful memories”.
Insiders say the sale will “come as a blow” to Olivia’s only child, daughter Chloe Lattanzi. Chloe, 38, has said the ranch is a “tangible place” where she can still “feel my mother”.
“I can walk on the soil and be like, ‘her foot was here’,” Chloe told Stellar magazine’s Something to Talk About podcast in August 2023.
“I can sit on her favourite seat and know that she sat there a thousand times and just visualise sitting on her lap. She’s still alive there for me.”
