In a deeply emotional moment at the Oscars, John Travolta, visibly moved, paid a heartfelt tribute to his late friend and Grease co-star, Olivia Newton-John. As he stood on stage presenting the In Memoriam segment, the 69-year-old actor struggled to hold back tears, his voice quavering with emotion. With a heavy heart, he urged the audience and viewers alike to remember and cherish the departed stars of the entertainment industry, acknowledging their profound impact on our lives. He invoked the iconic ballad “Hopelessly Devoted to You” from Grease, a poignant nod to the shared history with Newton-John.
Barely able to finish his sentence, Travolta’s emotions overwhelmed him, and he welled up before regaining composure to welcome Lenny Kravitz to the stage. As Kravitz performed a touching rendition of his 2004 hit “Calling All Angels” on the piano, a poignant tribute video played, honoring luminaries from the film industry, including Newton-John. The profound connection between Travolta and Newton-John, forged over four decades, resonated in the poignant moments of the tribute, underscoring the enduring impact of their friendship and shared contributions to the world of entertainment.
