Natalie Morales, presents this look at Olivia's life and career. Olivia does not give a new interview for this documentary but the program makers use archive interviews and footage. There are also lots of great photos of Olivia throughout her life.

Donny and Marie Osmond contribute as does Leeza Gibbons, Jane Seymour, Didi Conn (from Grease) and Michael Beck (from Xanadu). Music journalist Kevin Coyne provides his insights into Olivia's work.

Archive TV interview footage includes the 2019 Today interview, 2017 Today Show interview, 1996 Today Show, 1992 One on One, 2000 Headlines and Legends(this is where the interviews from sister Rona and mom Irene are taken).

Donny and Marie Osmond speak of their pleasure in having Olivia on their 1978 TV show. Donny loved performing You're The One That I Want and shows footage from his laptop, including the bump whilst dancing together.

Michael Beck tells us that Olivia is all you would hope her to be - kind, generous, funny and down to earth. When Michael's fiancee came to visit the Xanadu set Michael and Olivia were scheduled to perform a kissing scene. Olivia, out of consideration for her, asked for a closed set.

The documentary ends with discussion of Olivia's legacy which will not only be her amazing musical career but also what she has done to raise awareness and funds for cancer care.
