She, and Helen Reddy, and Karen Carpenter, ....could make a good super-trio.

AMEN! I met her one time (purely by accident) on the streets of London in 1970 when she was not yet a celebrity. She was trying to get her start in the business & had been on the BBC a few times, but no record deal, yet. She was the sexiest woman I ever met! She never meant to be, she just was!

Oh Olivia, you were a living goddess. That duet "Suddenly" you did with Cliff Richards is an unrivaled expression of feminine sexuality, seduction, and desire. It made me all tingly inside as an adolescent boy still not yet old enough to completely understand why.





Ditto for the film Xanadu.

OK, someone else remembers "Xanadu!"

She was beautiful, but more than that, she was talented. Great look and a great voice...and she could act. Shame she was taken from her family at such a young age.

For me it was ONJ, Dawn Wells, Pat Benetar and Jaclyn Smith. In no particular order.
