Oh no! So many indelible images of her from my early years.

If my dad were alive, he'd be crying right now.
RIP. Probably my first crush.
Has been fighting cancer for years, I think.
May she rest in peace and her memory be a blessing.
Loved her, loved her voice. Gorgeous and sensuous without flaunting it. RIP.
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
Go To Hell carolina, Go To Hell!

It is mentioned upthread that Olivia Newton John’s grandfather was the physicist Max Born. Max Born was a theorist, and had his hand in numerous fields. He started out being trained by some of the early scientists in the relativity field. He made major contributions to the early field of Quantum Mechanics; so seminal were his contributions that his principles are used daily and don’t even bare his name (contributing to some level of anonymity to modern day non-physicists); [the most notable physics contribution that does contain his name is the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation he published with J. Robert Oppenheimer (yes, from before he was the Manhattan Project head) in Nuclear Physics].
I read a list of collaborators that were drawn to him while still in Germany which included Erwin Schrodinger (and his cat no doubt) and Fritz London. Fritz London emigrated to the United States when Nazi influences forced many Jews to choose to leave Germany or face increasingly dire consequences. Fritz London was a condensed matter (physical chemistry) physicist and made his most notable contributions giving the theoretical structure to macroscopic quantum states SuperFluidity and SuperConductivity (which touch us all and make MRI imaging machines possible); some of the early MRI research occurred at Duke Hospital (but I digress). Later in life, Fritz London became an esteemed Professor of Physics at Duke! The London Lecture is given every year where an esteemed scientist gives a talk open to the public. Mrs. Fritz London attended these lectures until her death. The condensed matter group started by Fritz London, and eventually headed by Professor Horst Meyer, gave us Duke graduate student and PhD Robert Richardson (Nobel Prize in Physics 1996 for discovering Superfluidity in He3). Many of you may have known Bob as President of the Duke Alumni Association for many years before his untimely passing.

Bill Simmons covers Grease on his Rewatchables podcast this week. Worth a listen for fans. (of the movie, not Bill Simmons)
Her father not only took Rudolf Hess into custody, where he remained for the rest of the war before being transferred to Nuremburg. Later in life, her father became Headmaster of King's College in London. Pretty impressive family overall, I'd say.
