With Olivia Newton-John

MR: What five people would you invite to a dinner party?

ON-J: That’s hard to answer. My parents divorced so I’d love to see them when they were in their twenties and still happy and in love.

I’d invite astronomer Carl Sagan who always used the phrase “billions and billions.” I used to watch him on TV and I was fascinated by his knowledge of the stars. I always wanted to ask him if he believed in other life forms.

I’d love to invite my grandfather and his friend Albert Einstein. When my mother was young, Einstein came to their home and played the violin. Later in life my mother translated letters between her father and Einstein. It would be fascinating to talk with them.

I’d invite Jacques Cousteau who I met in the 1980s. He was intense and fascinating and I was blown away when he came to my house. John Denver had been with him on his expedition vessel, the Calypso, and had written a song by that name and I wanted to become involved in some project with him. We talked about it, but it didn’t work out.

I’d invite someone funny like George Burns, who I adored. I was on holiday at the Kahala Hilton once and Helen Reddy, who is also from Australia, and her then-husband Jeff Wald were there, and they knew George Burns. So Helen and I put on grass skirts and sang a welcome song to him as he arrived at the hotel. He had a little cigar and he was exactly as you would imagine. We had dinner with him and he had so many stories.

I’d invite the Rat Pack. One of my first television experiences in America was in 1972 when I sang with Dean Martin on the “Dean Martin Comedy Hour.” When I got to the studio they told me that Dean only knew about six songs and I had to pick one. Years later I was invited to tour with Sinatra. One of my only career regrets is that I didn’t do it. My daughter, Chloe, was a baby and I wanted to stay home with her. I know that’s more than five people, but there are so many I’d love to have to dinner.

  6. "True Love" was Dino's daughter's favorite. The daughter I'm referring to is Gina.

    Just one of those facts I know about our Dino!
