They gave us chills that were multiplying as Sandy and Danny in the hit film Grease in 1978 and 41 years later, Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta’s chemistry is just as electrifying!

John, 65, and Olivia’s love story began when John, then 23, begged casting executives to take a chance on Olivia, by giving her the role of Sandy Olsson, who would fall head over heels for Rydell High’s resident jock, Danny Zuko.
John was so infatuated with Olivia, he made scriptwriters write the character around her – making Sandy an Australian ex-pat to accommodate Olivia’s strong accent.
