I just turned 50 also but unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to see ONJ in person or I wish I would have. I loved her ever since I laid eyes on all these movies when I was a little girl, I remember wanting to be her so bad, even though I looked nothing like her long brown hair and brown eyes and nothing like her in the least but nevertheless, I wanted to be here so I made an outfit that look like the one she wore in Xanadu when I was 10 years old and I wore it all the time lol I’m sorry to hear about your oldest and I’m so glad you will have the opportunity to see ONJ in person but wonderful memories

Xanadu the movie mesmerized me, as a gawky teenager still in high school in 1980. While the movie did not do well, it was a spectacular showcase and in its magical 1980's way, reminded me of what it was like to be 16 years old again. God I miss it. And I miss both Gene Kelly and Olivia.

I love absolutely everything about this movie. The 80s art-deco revival, the uplifting songs, the wonderful choreographies, and of course the very talented and beautiful Olivia N.J and the fantastic Gene Kelly. This movie is not Shakespeare and it was not intended to be. It is just a movie that brings so much joy.

RIP Olivia Newton-John! Xanadu was one of my favourite movies when I was a kid...can't believe it's been 42 years since I saw it in the theatre.

I'm in tears right now. Olivia was one of my favorites. Cancer just sucks!!!!

I worked at a movie theater in 1980. One night I was asked to work late because they were going to screen a rough cut of a new movie from Universal Studios called Xanadu for the theater chain president to watch and bid on the next morning. We had to load it to the theater platter projection system. This theater was one of the first in the chain to have a Dolby surround sound system installed. My job was to make sure the splices for the various reels are clean and the movie ran without any problems. I had the privilege of watching Xanadu probably before any other public person ever saw it. It was months before it's official release. There were jump cuts and splices with "scene missing" title cards for a few frames at certain points. The Don Bluth animation was not completed and was all wire frame during that scene. The best part was I got to sit in the middle of a 400 seat theater by myself with the soundtrack cranked and listen to brand new Olivia Newton John and ELO songs that no one else in the world had heard yet. The movie was kind of corny but you have to admit that it is a kick-ass soundtrack that endures to this day.

Such a beautiful lady with an amazing voice RIP Olivia & Freddie, 2 legends can just see them now in heaven reflecting on this film.

RIP Olivia! She had an amazing career despite all the hardships she faced throughout her life. She’ll be dearly missed by billions of her fans!

Descanse em paz, Olivia...sempre em meu coração.

I was born is '86. I used to think Xanadu was some heady Kubrick-esque film. It wasn't until very, shamefully, recently that I discovered that it was essentially a camp extra baffling musical. This song, Gene Kelly, Olivia, the choreography, the vision. It inhabits a part of my brain that maybe hasn't dreamt this way since I was that little kid in the 90s. There will never be something like this again, because there can't be. This life and dream is gone and will never exist in this way again. But like Rocky Horror, or Priscilla, or Phantom of the Paradise, it is here in a sweet small capsule. Eternal, for all of us and those who come after to love. It's an embrace.

Marvellous song and performance! Olivia here looked pretty, her voice was angelic! Miss You, Mrs Newton-John 😟🥰

Brings Back Very Good Memories From The Summer of 1980. RIP Olivia Newton John. 🥲

When I was 16 I saw Olivia 's face on a LP cover. I fell in love. She not only was a beauty but had a voice like an angel. It was upsetting when she passed away. The world lost a great talent but more important a good person.

A magical place and time and we just didn't catch it at the moment. We're now left with precious memories..

Olivia Newton-John was and will always be absolute perfection in every way.

@andy morris and there is no such news in the pipeline that I see. From October: "Olivia Newton-John hasn’t undergone radiation in “a couple of years” and hasn’t had a scan for cancer “for a long time,” which the 72-year-old actress happily revealed in an EXCLUSIVE interview with HollywoodLife!"

This whole movie is so criminally underrated and this is the best scene from it. The choreographed skating to a drumbeat that gives me chills only to have Olivia pop up and close things out like the angel she is. This is what heaven better feel like. 🥳🤗

Oh it was SO uncool. Everyone was so snotty about this movie! I've always loved it. I saw it as the "in-flight" movie on a bus on the way to France when I was 11 or something. I totally loved it and still do...

RIP Olivia Newton-John. Beautiful woman and beautiful voice! One of the best! 🙏

Went to Movie Theater the first time I saw this Movie & since then have watched several times. I loved everything Olivia was in but would have loved to have seen John Travolta in this movie on Roller Skates dancing. Gene Kelly was incredible, I think this was his last movie & he was just as good as when he was young. 👏👏👏👏😊❤️👍🏼

Thankful someone took a chance on this quirky film, forever immortalizing the Great Gene Kelly paired with the Amazing Olivia Newton-John. Roller Skates were just an added bonus. ❤

I loved this movie as a kid. When I found out how this movie didn't do well in the Box Office, that didn't change my mind. Loved the Movie, and Loved the Music. Also I'm saddened with the news of Olivia Newton-John. May she Rest in Peace and may the Neon Lights shine in Heaven!

The most fabulous artist of all time.

In three years, 13M viewers for a movie from 1980...WOW Miss ONJ ❤

How can anyone not love Olivia Newton John. Her smile and presence radiates pure joy. Her angelic voice and God given talent was something to be seen. She will dearly be missed, but never ever forgotten. RIP: Dear Olivia

He actually did the choreography in the "Whenever You're Away From Me" song and purposely chose simple dance steps that would be easy for Olivia, who was a non-dancer, to do. It would have been so easy for him to showcase his own dancing, but he chose to choreograph it so that Olivia would be his partner in every sense. A true gentleman and a real class act.

Me too, I can’t believe this movie was the first time I had seen him (when it came out, of course), but we didn’t get to see movies much when I was younger, and so when I saw this movie, I was in my teens, and I remember thinking “the lead guy is hot, but this Gene Kelly is hotter”. His voice, and his figure (perfection), and he is so handsome... And then when he dances with all of that, there’s nothing more glorious than watching him dance. Women still swoon over him.

So, Gene Kelly was nearly 68 when they filmed this. An incredible talent and a great skater. He was reported to be upset that they didn’t show him full length in the shots as he did his own skating. Who can blame him ! And then we have Olivia Newton John. Just the best talent, and beautiful person inside and out. She couldn’t ever sing a wrong note and her tone was perfect. A tough time, she had with her health, but she did so much good with it, and I’ll love her forever. #loveyouolivia

I think my favorite part is how seriously all of the dancers/skaters/background performers did this. They gave it their all!
