Xanadu

The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana will remember the film's celebrated star at a screening of the 1980 musical fantasy.

The magic at the heart of the 1980 movie shone through Olivia Newton-John's ethereal and ebullient performance as Kira, a rollerskating Muse with a tender talent for changing lives, and the world, for the better. "Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer," read an Aug. 8 statement on the performer's official Instagram page. Paying tribute to the star will involve taking a trip to "Xanadu," on a warm August night, with a powerful purpose: To raise money for the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, which is dedicated to "... sponsoring global research into plant medicine for cancer."
