Stockard Channing as a teenager?
HA!

Stop with the Stockard Channing hate...not a single person in that movie looked like a teenager....not one...and she was a good Rizzo.

Is it just me, or was an Australian teenager a strange choice for Sandy?
How random.

R6 it’s just you who is ignorant and do not know the backstory.

That back story wasn't in the Broadway show, which was the basis for the movie.

This is the movie starring Olivia Newton-John being discussed here. NOT the Broadway musical, r8

The character was changed to accommodate ONJ

R11 don’t you think that’s awfully random??? The backstory wasn’t in the Broadway musical?? Why?? I am gen Z and I want a reason that will fit into my social media feed!

r12...Robert Stigwood wanted ONJ for the role...lshe was Australian and had an accent when she spoke...its not complicated if you use any of your functioning brain cells.

R4 - well, Marty looked like a teenager. But she was the only one.

Fun fact: The perpetually annoying Patty Simcox (Susan Buckner) was one of The Krofftettes -- the dance/synchronized-swimming troupe -- on The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.

Freeform did a nice little tribute notice when returning from commercial breaks.
It said something like "Dedicated to Olivia Newton-John. Hopelessly Devoted To You."
I thought that was very cute and really nice.

I never knew ONJ was so beloved.
She hasn't been in the news in ages.

R18 She had an impeccable reputation in Hollywood, and made a lot of friends there. Also, she died of cancer and was a great activist, so a lot of people feel sorry for her.

Funny how I haven't read even one public statement from John Travolta.
What a jerk.

r21...youre an idiot...He was one of the first to put out a statement....look it up

Dinah Manoff and Kelly Ward - Marty and Putzie - were both played by 19/20 year olds. Weren't there a good number of teen actors around in the late 70s, though? I understand Travolta's casting, he was a hugely popular sitcom star, and in the show he played a high schooler.

ONJ was lovely though. Apparently the more age appropriate Carrie Fisher was considered for Sandy, but she would have made a much better Rizzo.

Can Carrie Fisher even sing?
