Olivia's most productive decade, ranging from her early UK folk songs through to the triumph of the movie Grease
In the course of her work Olivia has appeared on TV countless times, particularly in America. It would be hard to catalogue every single appearance she has ever made. This page therefore attempts to catalogue the current and more interesting appearances. These range from TV specials, TV movies to documentaries and interviews.
