Olivia Newton-John

Residence 1

📍Ormond College, Parkville, Melbourne, VIC 3052, Australia

“We came from Cambridge when I was six, and my father became Master of Ormond College at the University of Melbourne — so I grew up, improbably, inside a grand university college, all bluestone and bell-towers and dining halls full of students. It was a childhood surrounded by music and learning; my grandfather had been a Nobel physicist, my father sang. I was the youngest of three, dreamy and gentle, more at home with a guitar than a textbook. Those green, scholarly grounds in Parkville gave me a soft, secure start, and a lifelong love of singing that carried me out of Melbourne and, eventually, all the way to Hollywood.”

Residence 2

📍Malibu, California 90265, USA

“After Grease and everything that followed, I made my home on the California coast at Malibu, where the Pacific rolled in below and horses grazed on the hillsides. I had left a university college in Melbourne and found my way to the ocean — it was where I healed, raised my daughter, kept my animals, and faced my long fight with cancer with the sea always in view. Australia made me, but Malibu was where I built a life of my own choosing: gentle, green, and turned toward the water and the light.”
