Grease still slays 50 years later—thanks to its unforgettable cast. John Travolta’s Danny launched his legendary career, while Olivia Newton-John’s Sandy remains a pop culture icon, remembered for her music, activism, and roles in Xanadu and Glee. Sadly, both passed away after battles with cancer. Stockard Channing, who brought Rizzo to life, thrived on The West Wing and Broadway before retreating to London. Jeff Conaway (Kenickie) died in 2011, and Susan Buckner (Patty) left acting to raise kids before passing this year. Didi Conn, as Frenchy, kept the Grease flame alive in Grease 2 and Grease Live!—and Travolta? He’s still going strong, directing, starring in major films, and cherishing time with his family after losing his son Jett and wife Kelly Preston.
