Olivia Newton-John (73) Fighter: The Australian actress, who became world famous in the 1978 musical classic “Grease” alongside John Travolta (67), has been diagnosed with breast cancer multiple times. I got sick for the first time in the early ’90s and the second time in 2013. In 2017, Newton-John announced to the public that her breast cancer had come back for the third time. Since then she has been battling an incurable cancer.
The life expectancy of a movie icon is short, but she won’t let that frustrate her. You’re trying to suppress this fact, Newton-John said in an emotional interview on the American show “Today”: “To be honest, I don’t think about it much. Denial is a really good thing and I keep getting stronger and better!”

Newton-John then addressed warm words to her interviewer and all the people affected by the disease: “We are sisters.
