John Travolta remembers 'Grease' co-star Olivia Newton John in touching tribute
, Travolta wrote, "My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better. Your impact was incredible. I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the first moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John!"She had 14 top 10 singles just in the U.S., won four Grammys, and starred with Travolta in "Grease" and with Gene Kelly in "Xanadu.
The fast-stepping Travolta-Newton-John duet, "You're the One That I Want," was one of the era's biggest songs and has sold more than 15 million copies. Travolta had starred in the stage version of "Grease" and for the planned film thought Newton-John would be the "ultimate" Sandy, the nice girl who gets tough in the final act and gets her man.
"I worried that at 29 I was too old to play a high school girl," Newton-John, who insisted on taking a screen test before accepting the part, told The Telegraph in 2017. "Everything about making the film was fun, but if I had to pick a favorite moment, it was the transformation from what I call Sandy 1 to Sandy 2.
Grease, released in 1978, was one of the highest-grossing musical movies of all time, earning nearly $400 million at the box office.
