Actress and singer Olivia Newton-John has died at the age of 73 at her Southern California home, her husband, John Easterling, reported on social media.
“Olivia has been a symbol of triumph and hope for more than 30 years, in which she has shared her experience with breast cancer,” said the husband, who asked that “instead of flowers” those interested send donations to the Olivia Newton-John Foundation, dedicated to research into plant medicine and cancer.
Although Newton-John (United Kingdom, 1948) developed his career in show business as a singer, with hits like “If Not for You”, “Let Me Be There” and “Have You Never Been Mellow”, his name was immortalized in Hollywood by starring alongside John Travolta in the musical “Grease.”
