This isn’t Olivia’s first time on Dancing With the Stars. She previously guest-judged during a season 21 episode back in 2015. In addition, Olivia has joined several Grease reunions in the past few years, including reuniting with John Travolta, who played Danny.

The two stars remain close friends and have helped each other through hard times. Olivia was diagnosed with cancer again several years ago but shared that she is doing well. John’s wife, Kelly Preston, passed away from cancer last year and Olivia was there as a support for his family.
