Grease, Sid Caesar, Olivia Newton John And The Midnight Special.

So my friend The Child just called me up. He's home for his Dad's birthday. They're watching Grease and he just called me to see who the actor is who plays the coach (see the answer below).

In the mean time, watch this Grease clip "You're the One I Want". Man does Olivia Newton John look hot.

Trivia: Olivia Newton John is NOT the sister of Elton John.



Answer: Sid Caesar.

I really liked that movie and my grandkids love it. They know all the words to the songs and will sing them in a heartbeat.

I'm dying to know why he called YOU for this info. My mind is swimming with assumptions.

I saw her awhile back trying to sing- it was sad and bad...

One of my first dates with my husband was seeing Grease at the drive-in. He was nuts about her. I was pretty hot then too.

Kimmie - I was wondering that at first too. Probably because when my daughter was younger we played Grease a lot.

At least I hope that's why.

Dr Zibbs said...

Oh yeah. And the reason the title says the Midnight Special is because I was originally going to post a video of her on that show.

I got chills.... they're mult-a-ply-in'!!!

The answer is simple - Asking Zibbs is more fun than going to IMDB and looking the shite up yourownself.

And Great Sid Caesar's Ghost, does she rock that outfit.

I don't think there is a man on this planet who does not love (lust) OLJ in that outfit in Grease...

Dr Zibbs said...

Peggy - you got that right. I saw the bio on this movie and they said when Olivia Newton John walked on set with this outfit all the guys just stopped and stared.

Dr Zibbs said...

And as a clue, notice how I put the answer in the title of the post.

words...words...words... said...

She IS hot in this movie, damn. Although those awful, awful shoes nearly ruin the entire outfit. I'm a guy and I don't notice shoes, which tells you just how awful those are. She should have worn black boots.

Meh, I think Susan Sarandon in her underwear in Rocky Horror is better. So, all those girls I knew in High School who had the 8 Track Soundtrack to Grease grew up and had kids helped fuel the popularity of the trilogy of High School Musical, would that be right?

Dr Zibbs said...

Andrew - I agree that Susan S is way sexier in RH because she at least she seems like she'd want to have sex. As opposed to ONJ.
