Olivia Newton-John, born on September 26, 1948, is an Australian-English businesswoman, actress, singer, songwriter, and activist. While born in Cambridge, UK, she moved to Melbourne, Australia at the age of six. Her father, Brinley “Bryn” Newton-John, and mother, Irene Helene, hailed from a Jewish background, and her family had fled from Germany to Britain. Olivia has an older brother, Hugh Newton-John, who is a doctor.
At the age of 14, Olivia formed a musical girl group and performed with them in her brother-in-law’s café. She made appearances on the radio program “The Happy Show” and competed on the singing reality show “Sing Sing Sing” in 1960. Her talent and captivating performances led her to win the competition and earn a trip to Britain. In 1966, she released her debut single, “Till You Say You’ll Be Mine,” on Decca Records.
However, it was Olivia Newton-John’s collaboration with John Travolta on the song “You’re the One That I Want” from the movie “Grease” that catapulted her to stardom and established her place in the music industry. The song became one of her best-selling singles, and throughout her career, she has had 14 albums certified platinum or double platinum, with 11 singles certified gold by the RIAA. Her albums have sold over 100 million copies worldwide.
