Olivia Newton-John: Where is she Now?
Many remember Olivia Newton-John as Sandy Olsson, the Australian transfer student in the 1978 musical romcom, “Grease.” In the case of “Grease,” the big screen seems to have mimicked reality, as Olivia was actually born in the U.K on September 26, 1948, but was mostly raised in Australia after her father took up a job as dean in a college in Melbourne. Her father, Brinley Newton-John, used to be an MI5 officer on the Enigma project at Bletchley Park and was the officer who took Rudolph Hess into custody during World War II. Her maternal grandfather, meanwhile, is the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Max Born.
