Very sad indeed and certainly part of my growing up.

Same here Phil. Feeling very old, all of a sudden.

Same here Phil. Feeling very old, all of a sudden.

Certainly makes me think now I'm 60 that's for sure.

Very sad news. For 30 years been battling cancer but always had a smile on her face.

Neutron Bomb - how apt as her grandfather was physics Nobel laureate Max Born. She was the one that we wanted!

That smile, always seem to have a love for life - never fan of the Grease image but everything else lovely, sad loss

Wonder if Cliff is sad

Always a bright shinning light no matter what was going on in her life. RIP Olivia.

 

[Wattie]

Huge outpouring of grief here in Oz for her.
She was an inspiration for many Australian women who she helped through her cancer clinics.
Very sad.

Always amazed me that she played Sandy in Grease aged 29!!! And pulled off being a High School student.

In some ways every mans fantasy, the 'nice' girl who turns into a fox!

RIP Olivia.

A friend of mine was an ONJ lookalike and met her as Sandy at Heathrow. She said that Olivia was a lovely person. Much missed.

I was a big Grease fan back in the day and Olivia Neutron Bomb was the reason, absolutely gorgeous .
