No one on Earth, young or old, can deny having heard of the famous love story involving the meek Australian transfer student Sandy Olsson and the charming Danny Zuko. Nearly 43 years after capturing the hearts of millions of people and becoming the highest-grossing musical at the time, Grease is still a hit today.
Unbelievably, what Danny and Sandy shared was something that we all yearned to have. They had such a profound influence on the youth of the day that many of them mimicked the dance moves from the film. The time period that helped mold American society included the singing and dancing from Grease as well as the mooning mishap, the auto races, and the prom.Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta became great stars that everyone spoke about thanks to this cultural phenomenon that persisted in popularity for years after its premiere. Newton-John’s “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” a single, received an Oscar nomination for best original song.
But Grease helped other people become famous than just these two.Most of you are familiar with Stockard Channing’s portrayal as the rebellious Rizzo.
Channing was 34 when she earned the part, and she is currently 79.She once made an appearance on Lorraine Kelly’s daytime chat program to promote her brand-new West End production of Apologia, and viewers couldn’t believe how much she had aged and altered since then.
