Tributes flowed across social media as fans mourned the passing of Australian actress and singer Olivia John-Newton, who died at her home in Southern California on Monday 8th August after a long battle with breast cancer. Local new media artist and filmmaker Xanthe Dobbie captured the mood with their dedication to the star of Grease on Instagram which combines animated text and found digital imagery.
