Dame Olivia Newton-John had a long and varied career in music and film, but will be most fondly remembered as Sandy from Grease.

The Australian singer and actress immortalised the role of the goody-goody high school student who joins Rydell High and transforms into a super-sexy greaser in a bid to win the affections of love interest Danny Zuko, played by John Travolta.
