Olivia Newton John has dropped

a new CD called Grace and Gratitude renewed. But did you know she is a breast cancer survivor? Already an international pop star, her role as shy but sexy Sandy in the movie musical Grease catapulted her to superstardom. She followed that success with several films, four Grammy-winning albums, and 15 chart-topping singles. She continued to act and record in the years that followed, but her career came to an abrupt halt when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992. Olivia fought the disease and won and has since become a tireless champion for breast cancer awareness and early detection. Now she's lending both her energy and her name to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Centre, a hospital and wellness facility that is being built in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia.
