Olivia to wait two more years before marriage
Translation from Dutch:
Olivia Newton-John is slowly starting to hate Hollywood. She senses she’ll never find happiness in the often-crazy metropolis of showbiz. Is that why she wants to return to Australia?
No High Opinion Of Hollywood
“Happiness for me means a husband and children” Olivia recently told JOEPIE, “but I believe you don’t get married for fun. You take that step definitively. I haven’t remembered many good things about Hollywood weddings. I think I can speak from experience.”
“I’ve owned two homes in Malibu for quite some time now. Los Angeles is an overcrowded city where you can usually cut through the smog, a mixture of fog and exhaust fumes. It was recently determined that five lifeguards on Malibu beach had contracted cancer caused by smog toxins. Who dares to claim that the beach and the sea are healthy any more — at least in L.A.?”
Young, Mysterious Dancer
Olivia, however, doesn’t say a word about her emotional difficulties. The split with Lee Kramer, her steady boyfriend of seven years, is final, although he is still her manager.
There have also been some rumours of new romances lately and once again the names of John Travolta and even Cliff Richard were mentioned, but Olivia emphatically denies these rumours.
Yet she blushes a little when we point out that a certain Matt Lattanzi, one of the dancers from the film “Xanadu”, doesn’t leave her completely indifferent?
“The only thing I want to say about him is that he’s thirteen years younger than me, an excellent dancer, and a likeable young man,” Olivia chuckles.
It’s also an open secret that Olivia, with a certain persistence, seeks out all kinds of fortune tellers and psychics with an eye to her future. “I learned from at least four of them that I have to wait two more years before finding the man of life,” Olivia says, “and the funny thing is, I believe it all. The success of ‘Grease’ and ‘Xanadu’ hasn’t gone to my head. The more you rise to the top in this profession, the lonelier you become. But I have since discovered that you are responsible for your own happiness. My life is dangerously different from the lives of normal people.”
“I enjoy the so-called “special treatment” everywhere I go, but in the crowd, the danger of loneliness is even greater. Only in the past few months have I started thinking about myself and my future. Fortunately, I’ve never been tempted into marriage so far. I’m particularly picky. Between twenty and thirty, you change so often, but now that I’m past thirty and no longer dependent on anyone, I’m looking for the right man for life.”
