    Grease girl's still got it

    Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 28/03/2012

    » It's not hard to relate Olivia Newton-John of today to Sandy Olsson of 1978. The same fragile and wide-eyed beauty that yearns after Danny Zuko in Grease still resonates today in Newton-John. To say she's aged well would be an understatement.
