Explain yourselves #Emmys,\u201d chimed in another disgruntled observer, while another snapped, \u201cOk watching Emmys and they just honored many who have passed, where was Olivia Newton-John?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newton-John was included on the Emmys\u2019 \u2018In Memoriam\u201d page. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992.<\/p>\n<p>Newton John first rose to prominence with her album \u201cLet Me be There,\u201d in 1973, for which she won the first of four Grammys. She followed that with two Number One hits: \u201c I Honestly Love You\u201d in 1974 and \u201cHave You Never Been Mellow\u201d in 1975.<\/p>\n<p>Although never a major TV star, she appeared on numerous TV shows, including \u201cBette,\u201d \u201cMurphy Brown,\u201d \u201cNed and Stacey\u201d and \u201cSordid Lives: The Series,\u201d as well as the TV movies \u201cA Mom For Christmas\u201d and \u201cA Christmas Romance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newton-John\u2019s close friend actress Jane Seymour spoke of Newton-John\u2019s courage: \u201cI realized that she was a unique friend. I have friends, but not like her in my life. I just remember so clearly our conversations and the smile on her face. And then the fact that she wasn\u2019t afraid, I don\u2019t think, to pass. She just didn\u2019t want to miss out on life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seymour recalled her last visit to Newton-John in February when she was thinking \u201cthis could easily be the last time I see her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I felt that before \u2026 several years before when she was incredibly frail and on a lot of pain meds and I just thought, oh my gosh, she, she was barely eating,\u201d the actress stated. \u201cShe looked so frail.\u00a0We were all surprised. She pulled it all back together again and had a quality of life again. It was amazing.
