It might have been decades since they last shared the screen together, but John Travolta has made it clear that Olivia Newton-John has always had a very special place in his heart. Sharing a throwback photo from the earlier years of her career, Travolta paid tribute to his “Grease” co-star on his Instagram account following the news of her death.
He wrote, “My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better. Your impact was incredible. I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the first moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John!” Many of Travolta’s fans commented on the post, with one writing, “I immediately thought of you when I heard the news. Peace be with you and all of us who loved her,” as well as, “That brought tears to my eyes. Grease was on yesterday.”
That said, there was a reason Travolta and Newton-John were so close, and it had to do with their off-screen relationship as much as their on-screen relationship, too. The two had often promoted “Grease” together for many years after its 1978 release. In fact, Travolta even admitted during a 1981 interview that he had to do some heavy pitching in order to convince the producers that Newton-John was the one that everyone wants. Clearly, Travolta saw something in Newton-John that the rest of the world would quickly see, too.
