Travolta and Newton-John had a decades-long, loving friendship that the two couldn’t help but gush about in interviews. “We did something life-changing, making that film,” Newton-John said back in 2018 on the film’s 40th anniversary. “[At the premiere] you got the feeling from the energy that something was happening. It was a huge response. I feel grateful to be a part of that and to have worked with him. We’ve stayed friends ever since.”
