The"Meet 'N' Grease" events will be held in Tampa on Saturday and Jacksonville on Sunday, with Travolta promising additional appearances by the T-Birds andputting up for auction
to benefit the cancer treatment center bearing her name in Australia. While poring over the items, the actress revealed some little-known facts about the film, including that she had to be literally sewn into the black pants in the film's finale, following Sandy's transformation, because the zipper was broken.
"They had to stitch me into them when I had to shoot," she says while showing off the infamous wardrobe the item at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, California."The zipper's still broken, but they're fabulous. They're just gorgeous." Another item up for auction was Newton-John's own Pink Lady jacket. As fans of the film know, Sandy was never inducted into the film's girl gang, but when production wrapped, they made Newton-John an honorary member and presented her with her own jacket, which is even embroidered with her character's name.
"I wanted to be a Pink Lady, I wanted to be accepted by them," she said of her character in the film"But, of course, I wasn't a part of the team in the end. So, the crew, at the end of filming, presented me with my own Pink Lady jacket, so I'd feel part of it."
