Honestly, she loves Malibu
By Ruth Ryon, Times Staff Writer
Olivia Newton-John has purchased a Malibu house for nearly $6 million, and the singer-actress has put her other Malibu home, smaller but closer to the beach, on the market at $6.5 million.
The house that Newton-John bought has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms in about 6,500 square feet. The Mediterranean-style estate, on slightly more than an acre, has a pool and a guesthouse.
The home that Newton-John is selling has five bedrooms and five bathrooms in close to 5,000 square feet. The Country English-style house is near the beach and has mountain views. It also has a pool.
The Grammy-winning Newton-John, 56, had more than two dozen pop hits between the early 70s and mid-‘80s, including “I Honestly Love You” and “Physical.” Born in England and raised in Australia, she made her American film debut costarring with John Travolta in the movie-musical “Grease” (1978).
Newton-John starred in the 1994 CBS movie “A Christmas Romance,” featuring her daughter, Chloe. In 2000, Newton-John co-starred with Beau Bridges in the film “Sordid Lives,” and in 2001, she performed a song for the movie “The Wedding Planner.”
