Didi Conn is speaking out about her late "Grease" co-star Olivia Newton-John after the actress died at the age of 73. Conn, 71, who’s known for her role as Frenchy in the 1978 musical, spoke with Fox News Digital Tuesday about her friend of over 40 years and the bond the duo shared. "I would say that when I first met her, I was in awe of her, at least as a star, this big pop star," Conn said of Newton-John. "She's inspired me in so many ways."

John Travolta starred alongside the two as Danny. "I would want people to remember her spirit, her beauty, her love for her daughter and her husband and her love for her fans," Conn said. "That's her legacy of being a giving, loving, beautiful inside-and-out person." The last time Conn saw Newton-John was during "Grease's" 40th anniversary in 2018.
One of the last times she spoke with the late actress was just after the Fourth of July, which Conn described as a "wonderful talk." Olivia Newton John died at the age of 73. (Getty Images) Newton-John was expecting a service dog from Mobility Organization.
