The beloved performer will do anything to protect her family.
The Olivia Newton-John biopic couldn’t have come at a worse time for the star, who is worried how she’ll be portrayed while continuing to make her health a priority during her breast cancer battle.
Sources close to Olivia, 69, say anxiety over the Seven production starring Delta Goodrem has been keeping her awake at night. She’s especially fearful about the effect the series might have on her family, in particular her fragile daughter Chloe.
“Olivia’s seen the trailer and hated it. She’s a very proud woman and the last thing she wants is for her life to be raked over by some cheesy made-for- TV production,” says a source. “She hasn’t slept properly since she saw it, and her hubby [John Easterling] is worried about how it’s affecting her.”
Industry sources say Olivia, who revealed last year that her breast cancer has come back and metastasised in her spine, has been fighting tooth and nail to have the production stopped for years.
