I know she'd been ill for many years, but it's still a shock that she's actually passed away.

RIP Olivia, as a youngster watching Grease back in the day, can honestly say I never saw anything like it and haven't since. She was ace. Rest In Peace.

Yes that was one of the nicknames! In the nicest possible way.

Each time they play their piece of her, on the news, I am welling up. So sad.
