Here's Where You Can Watch Grease To Honor Olivia Newton-John
In the wake of the August 8 death of Olivia Newton-John, fans are looking back on the actress' diverse musical and acting résumé. During her time on the big screen, Newton-John played everyone from a roller-skating demigoddess to a down-on-her-luck bank teller whose romance with a part-time thief determines the fate of humanity itself. With prominent roles in everything from 1980's "Xanadu" to 1983's "Two of a Kind," never let it be said that only one role defined the actress-singer's career when she could do so much.
But no matter how many different roles she took on, for many fans, the crown jewel in Newton-John's acting career remains 1978's "Grease." The classic musical saw her play the wholesome teenager Sandy Olsson, an Australian exchange student who spends her senior year at Rydell High in California. Sandy is shocked to discover her summer crush, Danny Zuko (John Travolta), rules the school as a member of a popular greaser gang called the T-Birds. Sandy and Danny suffer the ups and downs of teenage life while the T-Birds and their girl-gang counterpart, the Pink Ladies, hinder and help the twosome.
If you want to watch this classic film to honor Newton-John's memory, there are multiple ways you can grab a copy of the movie.
