It’s electrifying! Olivia Newton-John on her big Grease auction
Those headturning trousers, a ‘pink ladies’ jacket, plus many more items from the actor’s 55-year career are going under the hammer. So why-yi-yi-yi now?
When Sandy told Danny to “Tell me about it stud,” in skin-tight black trousers and a leather jacket in the 1978 film Grease, little did Olivia Newton-John realise her character’s costume would go on to fetch a combined estimate of $230,000 (£185,000) at auction more than 40 years later.
These items of cinema history, along with 200 more of the actor’s costumes and personal clothes will go under the hammer at Julien’s Auctions in LA in November, with 32 highlights now on display at the Museum of Style Icons in Ireland.
