Olivia Newton-John and Susan Buckner, in Grease (1978) ABC
Susan Buckner has passed away. She has left Rydell High School cheerleader Patty Simcoxthat cheerful friend of Sandy, the character played by Olivia Newton-John, who fell in love with Danny Zuko, played by John Travolta, in the legendary ‘Grease’. …
Buckner rose to fame in the early 70s when she was crowned Miss Washington and a year later she would be a finalist in the Miss America pageant.
In 1976, she would make her debut on the audiovisual scene, but her career would reach its climax when, at just 25 years old, she was chosen to play the legendary entertainer in the musical ‘Grease’ (1978).
A career focused on television
That would be his most memorable role in a short and unremarkable career focused on television (she would appear, for example, in series such as ‘Starsky and Hutch’) and of which we could also highlight her role, alongside Tommy Lee Jones, playing the legendary Jean Harlow in the television film ‘The Amazing World of Howard Hughes’ or his participation in Wes Craven’s horror film, ‘Deadly Blessing’ (1981) alongside Ernest Borgnine and Sharon Stone.
