Grease's mother, Newton-John, a four-time Grammy Award-winning songstress and actor of the musical, died at the age of 73 after a 30-year fight with cancer. Rudolf Hess, Hitler's most senior Nazi lieutenants, was born in the United Kingdom to an MI5 agent father, who was responsible for arresting one of Hitler's top Nazi lieutenants. Newton-John and her family immigrated to Australia when she was five years old, before returning to London at the age of 14. It was her mother, Irene, who first discovered her singing abilities; Newton-John had aspirations to become a doctor, but the touring army bases and clubs were winning singing competitions.
