Olivia Newton John

The word “lucky” comes to mind when we are talking about Olivia Newton-John. From joining a singing contest to winning the 1974 Grammy Record of the Year, she became attracted to Hollywood’s glitz and glam and was soon recognized as a real talent. Before making it big as Sandy in the award-winning musical movie, Grease, she started singing at a very young age. After joining a singing contest, which earned her ticket to England at the age of 15, she performed in clubs and moved to Los Angeles to try her luck.

Olivia rose to stardom when she portrayed her role as a cheerleader in the 1978 movie musical. She continued her singing career and released her third solo album, Let Me Be There, where she won a Grammy Award for best country female performance. A series of songs and albums followed. Her singles I Honestly Love You and Something Better To Do even aced the Billboard chart! Though she continued to release albums in the 1980s, her career quieted down. The singer-actress has since focused on starting a family and launched her clothing line investments, Koala Blue.
