Olivia Newton-John

Grease is Randal Kleiser’s feature directorial debut that became the highest-grossing movie of 1978. It received five Golden Globe nominations, including the first nomination for its star, the late Olivia Newton-John, and the second one for her onscreen partner John Travolta who was nominated for another dance drama Saturday Night Fever just a year before.

Has it really been 44 years since John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, as Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson, respectively, sang You’re the One That I Want to each other in Grease? The critically and commercially successful romantic comedy, set in the summer of 1958, stole our hearts and brought out our dancing shoes. Generations have been dancing and singing – some costumed as Danny and Sandy – to such songs as Greased Lightning, Summer Nights, and Hopelessly Devoted to You.
