Chloe Lattanzi and John Travolta are finally getting together for what insiders say will be a “heartwarming trip down memory lane” interview for the upcoming documentary This Is Grease, due for release next year.
“They’ve been filming this project since May last year – even Ellen [Travolta, John’s sister who played a waitress in the original film] has done an interview for it, but they have been diligent about keeping John and Chloe’s involvement hush hush,” a Hollywood insider tells Woman’s Day.
“They don’t want the focus to be on the loss of Olivia [Newton-John] because she’s not the only cast member not with us anymore and they want this to be a tribute to the film, not so much its stars.”
The plan, adds the source, is “to have John reminisce his memories with Chloe, who has plenty of behind-the-scenes stories from her mum to tell too. It’s the best way they can think of to give Olivia’s perspective.”
The late star, who played Sandy in the iconic 1978 film, passed away in 2022 following a long battle with breast cancer.
The insider adds, “Chloe’s earliest memories have John often at the centre of family gatherings, especially if it was something special for Olivia. He was her childhood idol and someone who always made time for her. He’ll always be an unofficial ‘uncle’ or big brother to her and today is no different.
“John was there for Chloe in a way no one else could be. To this day he has stories that bring her back to life he’s not yet told her, so when he lost Kelly a few years later, Chloe was there for him too.
“They’re both looking forward to bringing Olivia back to life and telling her side of the story in the making of such a cult classic.”
Olivia’s only child, Chloe, 39, has openly praised her mother’s Grease co-star John, 71, and revealed she and the actor are “on the same wavelength.”
“He’s awesome!” she says.
