While “Grease” remained her most notable role, Newton-John continued to parlay her strong musical stage presence into a variety of other film parts. She notably starred in the Electric Light Orchestra musical “Xanadu,” which gave her two more radio hits with “Magic” and the title track. She also re-teamed with Travolta on John Herzfeld’s 1983 film “Two of a Kind,” which also led to her recording the hit song “Heart Attack.”
So when the news broke that Newton-John had passed away after a long battle with breast cancer, many were quick to offer their condolences and honor her legacy. Her most famous co-star, John Travolta, got the ball rolling when he took to his Instagram account to honor the fallen star. “My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better,” Travolta wrote. “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 moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John!” But that was just the beginning. Olivia Newton-John received an outpouring of support from some of Hollywood’s biggest names throughout the day on Thursday. Some had worked with her, others knew her socially, but many more were simply fans of her impressive body of work as both an actress and a recording artist.
