Grease 20th anniversary

Translation from German

LOS ANGELES Petticoats and pompadours. They were the dream couple of the late 70s: Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta celebrated triumphs with the film adaptation of the musical “Grease.”

Exactly 20 years later, Paramount is bringing the hit back to theaters in improved quality (stronger colors, more elaborate sound) – and many stars from back then celebrated at the premiere at Mann’s Chinese Theatre: Barry Pearl (Doody), Didi Conn (Frenchy), Stockard Channing (Rizzo).

One was missing, however, and unfortunately also the most important one: John Travolta, who is currently on a promotional tour for his new film “Primary Colors.” Nevertheless, the party went on late into the night.
