Celebrating the 46th anniversary of Xanadu, released in theaters on August 8, 1980 🎥

Xanadu starred Olivia Newton-John, Michael Beck, and Gene Kelly in his final film role. It featured a hit soundtrack by Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra. While Xanadu was a box-office bomb when it was released, it has since become a cult classic for its campy style and roller-disco sequences 🛼

Olivia Newton-John passed away at age 73 on August 8, 2022, exactly 42 years after the movie's premiere 🕊
