Actress and singer Olivia Newton-John was born 26 September 1948, in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England.

She had many hit singles and appeared on TV series with Cliff Richard, as well as in the film Tomorrow (1970). For a while she was engaged to Bruce Welch, a member of The Shadows, who backed Richard.
Olivia took the advice of a friend, and in the mid-'70s she left Britain to take up residence in America to help further her singing career.
