Olivia Newton-John is an actress and country pop singer/songwriter from Melbourne, Australia who best known for her role of Sandy in the film adaptation of Grease. She released her first album If Not for You in 1971, and won her first Grammy only two years later in 1973 for her country single "Let Me Be There." Her performance as leading lady opposite John Travolta in the 1978 film Grease, helped the movie become that year's biggest box-office hit. Newton-John became synonymous with her character and never earned the same attention she gained from soundtrack hits like "Hopelessly Devoted to You," but the film is now a cult classic that will ensure her reputation as an entertainer lives on long after her career is over.
