Translation:
Olivia Newton-John, granddaughter of German Nobel Prize winner Max Born, rose to fame with Long Live Love
and I Honestly Love You.
The pretty blonde, born in England and raised in Australia, is now conquering a new continent: America. With her romantic love songs and ballad-like country songs, she has captured the hearts of Americans. She is already being called the Queen of Country,
a nickname previously reserved only for American artists.
The New World
has thus also become Olivia's new home.
Perhaps in twenty years, people will say: Max Born, isn't that the grandfather of the famous Olivia Newton-John?
The lovely blonde laughs heartily at her own joke and shows two rows of magnificent white teeth. But immediately afterwards, Olivia adds modestly, No, no, seriously, Grandpa was a Nobel Prize winner in physics. I'll never achieve something that great.
Yet the beautiful daughter of a German and an Englishman is well on her way to a meteoric career. After sensational recording successes in Europe with Long Live Love
and Banks of the Ohio,
Olivia Newton-John has just begun her triumphant march through America.
There, in the home of country and western music, the Englishwoman is already being celebrated as the Queen of Country.
Bobby Gentry and Glen Campbell, the uncrowned stars of the Tennessee and Nashville scenes, view Olivia's triumph with mixed feelings. Someone comes over from Europe and suddenly achieves what we've fought hard for for years,
says the classy Bobbie, but we're happy for her success. She's so talented and has so much charm.
Olivia has set up home with her friend Lee Kramer on Malibu Beach near Los Angeles. Preferred casual look: jeans, cowboy boots, and a Stetson. Wherever there are nice people, I'm at home,
says the pretty girl, who looks like she's freshly imported from Tennessee.
I don't have a real home.
In October, the determined blonde wants to return to London, back to her two-room apartment, the furniture neatly covered with slip covers. And then I'll decide where I belong: England or America.
Photos second page: Olivia lives in a magical villa on the Pacific Ocean with her boyfriend Lee Kramer, a former shoe salesman. But neither of them wants to get married. Olivia feels too young for that. Left: A little flirtation with a full-grown bull. Cowgirl Olivia isn't afraid of big animals.
