RIP Olivia Newton-John

Thinking about ONJ this morning and playing lots of her music and realised she was probably the first woman I ever saw on the big screen that I crushed on.

What a talent.

Yeah have to agree, Olivia and Carrie Fisher were definitely my crushes when I was the ripe old age of 5 lol. Very sad news though, she was a terrific woman, a great Aussie icon.

I feel like there's been a lot of notable deaths like this in 2022. Giving....what was it, 2016 a run for its money.

Was shocked to see her name with an RIP on twitter. She'd been battling Breast Cancer repeatedly in her life and, alas, it got her in the end. Sad, 73 is too young to go these days.

RIP.

As a very small child, I enjoyed the hell out of Xanadu.

I always admired the premise of Xanadu: A Greek goddess finds a mortal to help achieve his greatest desire. His greatest desire is to own a roller disco. So gloriously 1970’s.

I was so young I didn't even really get the plot. I just remember the dazzling special effects as the ladies come down from heaven, and I remember all the roller-skating. And the theme song, of course.

I guess for me it would have been Elizabeth Montgomery, Cheryl Ladd, Carrie Fisher and Olivia Newton John in order of appearance. I'm sure there were others (like every Bond girl ever) but those are stand-outs.

Oh yes, I have to add Linda Carter as well, damn how could I forget her lol.

Mentally unstable and 140km/hr. Hard to feel sorry for someone who goes out lucky not to have taken innocent others with her, but you wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
