Actress and singer Olivia Newton-John survived her battle with breast cancer. Now she’s devoted her life to helping other women beat the disease. Her comic book biography will not only trace the four-time Grammy award winner’s rise to stardom, it will also generate funds for breast cancer research, with a portion of the book’s proceeds going to the “Olivia Newton-John Cancer Centre”.
“Breast cancer in the beginning that was hard to talk about. So it takes a while before you can put it into a category that you can discuss without becoming emotional” Olivia Newton John said to Bluewater, the book’s publisher, about her coming out publicly about breast cancer.
Newton-John worked with Bluewater and writer Sandra Ruckdeschel on the comic’s script. Ruckdeschel said that working on the story was an experience that she’ll never forget.
“Olivia Newton-John has had an amazing career,” said Darren Davis, founder and president of Bluewater Productions. “Her greatest victory, though, come in 1992, when she survived her battle with breast cancer. We are happy to work with her on this comic and to hopefully play at least a small role in the fight against breast cancer.”
