Olivia Newton-John Documentary About Her Rise and Challenges She Faced After Worldwide Fame Heading to Netflix
Netflix announced on Tuesday, June 24, that a new documentary about Olivia Newton-John will be released on the streaming service The untitled project will be directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Nicole Newnham The streamer did not announce when the film will be releasedOlivia Newton-John fans will get an entirely new look at the late actress and her career in an upcoming documentary. Netflix announced on Tuesday, June 24, that a new documentary directed by Nicole Newnham will come to the streamer, a Netflix spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE. Newnham's 2020 Netflix documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, earned an Oscar nomination. The untitled film will explore 'the music, life, and magic of beloved pop star and cultural phenom Olivia Newton-John,' according to a release, per Deadline, which was the first to report the news. 'In her own words, through vivid archival and via reminiscences from close friends and collaborators, we'll follow Olivia's journey as the world falls madly in love with her and she ascends to the height of fame, only to be confronted by challenges of epic proportions.' 'This is the story of a woman who was perpetually underestimated despite her mesmerizing talent, ultimately silencing her detractors by pushing through phenomenal loss and pain with grace and gratitude,' the release read. 'By discovering how to stay true to her beliefs, Olivia changed our culture for the better, bending it towards kindness, inclusivity, and love.' 'Olivia always signed her letters 'love and light' and that is the shimmering and hopeful legacy she has left us,' Newnham said, per Deadline. 'As a young girl, I fell in love with her, listening to Grease on the record player on repeat. But this unique filmmaking journey – deep into the archives and into the amazing community of Olivia's close friends and family – has revealed a complex and extraordinary woman whose impact on the world is still rippling outwards.' The documentary will be produced by R.J. Cutler and his production company This Machine, which previously worked on Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry, Elton John: Never Too Late and Martha. Newton-John died of breast cancer in August 2022. She was 73. She announced in May 2017 that she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which had metastasized to the sacrum. Newton-John was born in the U.K. in 1948, before her family moved to Australia when she was 5 years old. After winning an Australian TV talent contest, she began touring with Pat Farrar for their act Pat & Olivia. By 1971, her solo career had kicked off, with two albums – If Not For You and Olivia.

In 1978, the 12-time Grammy nominee's acting career took off with Grease, in which she starred opposite John Travolta. The Golden Globe nominee then starred in the 1980 musical, Xanadu, before later appearing with Travolta again in 1983's Two of a Kind. Despite a few other film and television roles, Newton-John's focus returned to music. In 1992, she revealed her first diagnosis with breast cancer. Her battle — which included a partial mastectomy, chemotherapy and breast reconstruction — ultimately led to the creation of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre in Melbourne. Newton-John spent the rest of her life as an advocate for cancer awareness and research. Read the original article on People

10 TV lesbian and sapphic storylines overshadowed on their own shows
Netflix; Fox Freema Agyeman as Amanita Caplan and Jamie Clayton as Nomi Marks on Sense8; Aisha Hinds as Hen Wilson and Tracie Nicole Thoms as Karen Wilson on 9-1-1. TV audiences love a good ship! Gay and queer relationships are often one of the fandom's favorite parts of a TV show. Whether the couple is canon or not, fans have a lot of fun with fan fiction, fan art, and other ways to express their love. Unfortunately, lesbian and sapphic couples often get pushed to the side by the fandom in favor of male/male ships — sometimes even male/male ships that aren't even canon. There are other times when sapphic ships don't receive enough attention because a show is too packed with other exciting things happening. Here are some of our fan-favorite (but often underappreciated) lesbian and sapphic ships from television. Fox Brittany and Santana on Glee. While Santana and Brittany got plenty of love on Glee, there's no doubt that they were overshadowed on the show by another popular gay couple - Kurt and Blaine. One of the most blatant examples comes in the episode where Santana and Brittany are getting married. The two young women have planned and organized their dream wedding, and then, at the last minute, they decide to invite Kurt and Blaine to get married alongside them, making their special day about another couple. Streaming on Hulu Fox Hen and Karen Wilson on 9-1-1. If you were to ask most people what the most popular same-sex relationship on 9-1-1 is, you'd most likely hear the answer, Buck and Eddie. While Buck did eventually come out as bisexual on the show, he and Eddie are still just friends. The show does, however, have a long-running lesbian couple in Henrietta "Hen" Wilson (Aisha Hinds) and her wife, Karen (Tracie Thoms). Hen and Karen have been together since season 1, and now, they are married and have two children. Streaming on Hulu Fabio Lovino/HBO Mia and Valentina on The White Lotus season 2. Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) was the secret MVP of The White Lotus season 2. While people were being distracted by a family of American womanizers, murderous gays, and a pseudo-uncle-cousin sexual relationship, this lesbian hotel manager had the best storyline of the whole season. At first, Valentina has an unrequited crush on her subordinate, Isabella. When that doesn't work out, she's heartbroken. That's when sex worker Mia (Beatrice Grannò) approaches her, and Valentina reveals she had never been with a woman before. Mia takes Valentina up to one of the hotel's empty rooms, and her life is forever changed. Streaming on HBO Max Netflix Amanita and Nomi at Pride on Sense8. We understand why Lito and Miguel are such a popular ship on this sci-fi show from The Wachowskis, but we also want to share our love for Nomi and Amanita! Not only are they an adorable, sexy, and loving lesbian couple, but they are also one of the few good examples of a lesbian relationship involving a trans woman on TV. Streaming on Netflix Bonnie Osborne/ABC Annalise Keating and Tegan Price in a courtroom on How to Get Away with Murder. How to Get Away with Murder had plenty of sexy relationships and hookups, and one fan-favorite is the relationship between Connor Walsh (Jack Falahee) and Oliver Hampton (Conrad Ricamora). One of our favorite couples from the show is Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and Tegan Pride (Amirah Vann), who joined the show in season 4 and became a regular in season 5. Unfortunately, their relationship didn't get as much screen time as we would have liked! Streaming on Hulu Netflix Lily Iglehart and Ola Nyman on Sex Education. There's a lot of sex and relationships going on in Sex Education. One of the favorites is the relationship between Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Adam (Connor Swindells), an openly gay student and his former bully. We also want to give a shout out to another favorite, though often overlooked, relationship: Ola and Lily! Lily is a strange student who is obsessed with aliens and becomes Ola's chaperone when Ola joins their school in season 2 of the show. Later, Ola has a dream where she kisses Lily, making her realize she is pansexual. Soon, the two start dating, though their relationship isn't without its ups and downs. Streaming on Netflix Paramount+ Dr Tara Lewis and Rebecca Wilson on Criminal Minds Evolution. When Criminal Minds was revived in 2022, it was renamed Criminal Minds: Evolution. The show has over 350 episodes in its 18 seasons, so there are plenty of relationships to love. One of our favorites is the relationship between pansexual forensic psychologist Dr. Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler) and prosecutor Rebecca Wilson (Nicole Pacent). The two characters appear on Criminal Minds: Evolution, and are one of our current favorite parts of the show. Streaming on Paramount+ FX The Countess and Ramona Royale on American Horror Story: Hotel. Of course, each season of American Horror Story is full of wild terrors and steamy sex. Still, we want to give some special attention to Ramona and The Countess Elizabeth, played by two legends: Angela Bassett and Lady Gaga. In the 1970s, Ramona was a blaxploitation film star before meeting Elizabeth. When they met, they started a decade-long relationship, and the Countess turned Ramona into one of her vampires. Unfortunately, so much was going on in this season that their love story got overshadowed. Streaming on Hulu Ryan Green/Paramount+ Cruz and Josie on Lioness. You might think Lioness is all about action and thrills, but one of the best parts of the show is queer character Gunnery Sergeant Cruz Manuelos (Laysla De Oliveira), who works with the Lioness program. In season 2, she's recruited to shadow Josephina "Josie" Carrillo, a US Army Apache pilot with a family connection to a Mexican cartel. What starts as a job soon turns into love for the two. Streaming on Reiner Bajo/Disney Tina and Wolfie on Nine Perfect Strangers. This twisty and dark drama about a wellness retreat led by Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman) has a great queer couple in season 2 that you might not know about! Wolfie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) and Tina (King Princess) are a pair of girlfriends who visit the wellness retreat in the second season. Nine Perfect Strangers has a large cast of talented actors, but this is one relationship viewers should key in on.
