Olivia Newton-John passed away just months before her birthday after a very long battle with cancer. The tributes poured in, proving that Olivia was as sweet as she seemed on our television screens. On what would have been her 74th birthday, her Grease co-star John Travolta paid tribute to her again.
He shared a photo from their beloved film Grease and wrote, “Happy birthday my Olivia.” They played Sandy and Danny in the 1978 film and became friends for a lifetime. The two would often reunite for Grease events and kept in touch even as many years went by.

He continued, “It was private, it was wonderful, and we would take the boat to uninhabited islands and beach it and just explore – just the two of us. Happy Birthday Honey – I Love You!”
Happy birthday, Olivia! May you rest in peace.
