People Think I Left England To Dodge Taxes
Olivia Newton-John came back home to Britain just for eight days - all the tax people would allow her. She makes her home in the United States now.
“People think I left England to dodge taxes,” she says. “The reason I left was to further my career.”
She says frankly that she wasn’t selling records too well until she went to the United States where the country audiences grabbed her as Nashville born. She actually was born in Cambridge, England, and reared in Melbourne, Australia.
“I learned more in America in six months than I did in two years in England,” she says. “America taught me to loosen up. Everything was always so formal in England.”
Within the last year, she has become a blockbuster act at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas.
