Anne Heche 'Another World' and 'Six Days, Seven Nights' dies at 53

Anne Heche won a TV Emmy Award for her portrayal of twins on the Daytime Soap "Another World." She played Vicky and Marley from 1987-1991. Many of her 75 episodes are playing on You-Tube and her fans cannot get enough in 2022. "Another World" was cancelled in 1999.

Heche went on to important movie projects during the 1990's. "Volcano" 1997 with Tommy Lee Jones. "Donnie Brasco" 1997 with Al Pacino and Johnny Depp. "Return to Paradise" 1998 with Vince Vaughn. "Six Days, Seven Nights" with Harrison Ford 1998.

The Internet was moving with lightning-speed in 1998. But - Movie studios still promoted their films with TV and Newspapers Ads... "Six Days, Seven Nights" was heavily pushed with TV advertisements before it's premiere date.... The film's production budget climbed to $70 million. It grabbed $164 million at the box office. IMO - This was Anne Heche's best performance who had great comic abilities. She and Harrison Ford had great chemistry too. RIP Miss Heche....

Below is the 1998 movie trailer of 'Six Days, Seven Nights."

Olivia Newton-John 'Grease' and 'Physical' singer dies at 73

Olivia Newton-John was a 4-time music "Grammy" winner whose pop single, "Physical" (1981) stayed at number #1 for 10 weeks. It would become her signature song among several from the 1970's and 1980's. Below are Olivia's impressive music stats.... 

  • Studio albums                 26
  • Live albums                       6
  • Compilation albums         14
  • Singles                             70
  • Soundtrack albums            6
Olivia appeared in the movie-musical "Grease" (1978) as the innocent Sandy who transforms into a hot leather chick at the end. The movie was the number #1 film of that year ($366 million). She will forever be remembered as Sandy.... RIP. 

Below is the music video for the hit song, "You're The One That I Want."


Below is Olivia singing her number #1 song, "Physical" (1981) on TV's "Solid Gold." This was long before the Internet and during the birth of Cable-TV. The song stayed in the public conscience for a full year. It spawned a music video that caused controversy with sexual-innuendo with straight and gay men who danced with Olivia. Several radio stations banned the song too because of "Sex." It was revolutionary for the coming decade of the 1980's in pop culture.
