It's already happened stui with the recent passing of Archie Roach. He may not have occupied the world stage like Judith and Olivia, but he did such a lot for his people, by writing the most poignant song ever about the stolen generation.
It's awfully sad about Olivia. In a fair world, she would've had many more years to see the results of her massive contribution to help cancer sufferers :cry: Rest in Paradise, Olivia.

Some of her albums were brilliant. As an interesting aside, I know she must've turned heads in Korea back in the day because she was often the first thing dozens of older Korean blokes mentioned when they found out I was an Aussie!

Very sad.

Amazing to think Olivia was already 29 when Grease came out and I find it funny that any teenage male who ever felt a certain twinge in the pants region upon watching Olivia in Grease was actually the jailbait in any fantasy.

Personally I always preferred the demure Sandy to the vamped up evolution of her character.

Then of course we have her opening appearance (3:25) in the video clip for the song Xanadu. Something about her little dance intro and the way she raises her arms that I still find incredibly sexy to this day.

Thanks for the childhood memories Olivia.

A beautiful lady inside and out now at peace.

You do watch weird movies.

I'm sure her family would have been in tears when that final siren rang yesterday.

Remarkable woman. I recall studying some of her work in the 80’s. Women, Witches and Nurses

A clever and insightful book. A huge loss to the world.
