This was an interesting program about Grease, of
course. It featured recent interviews with all the stars (except Stockard Channing/Rizzo)
and footage of the cast altogether at the DVD release party in Hollywood,
September 2002. Olivia and John's interviews for this TV show were somehow conducted
during this party. Olivia looked great and sounded excited about Grease's success.
Didi Conn (Frenchy) provided the most moving moment talking about the shock of discovering
Olivia had breast cancer in 1994 and how thankful they are that she's back as strong as
ever. Didi and Olivia are still good friends as the photos from Didi's collection testify.
It was also sad when the "T-Birds" re-visited the LA riverbed where they filmed
the car race scene. There was pollution and graffiti.
Olivia was asked which of the two Sandys she was most like "Posh or Spicy"? She
gave the diplomatic answer, "I think I have little of both but really enjoyed playing
Sandy 2"...then she went on to say how no one recognized her when she tried the Sandy
2 outfit for the first time round and how they had to sew her into the pants so she
couldn't drink just in case she needed to "pee".
