For the record, the "general public" that I knew and hung around with also considered her ugly and didn't get why she became so popular. She actually became much more attractive as an adult, as often happens.
And seriously, I agree with the crime/waste it was having Matt Dillon as your co-star love interest and having no interest in anything to do with loving/hooking up with him.

It's Sunday afternoon. My Dad is watching a football game and doing the Sunday Times' crossword puzzle. My Mom has finished preparing her work for Monday. She's in the kitchen preparing dinner. My Mom's amazing. She will leave for work tomorrow morning at 6:45. Before she leaves she has prepared breakfast for us and made lunches for me and my brother.
I passed my driver's test a few weeks ago, and I've gone to pick up my maternal grandmother, who's having dinner with us. She'll bring her copy of the puzzle with her to compare it with my Dad's.
I'm incredibly happy and unbelievably privileged and lucky. The last two I probably don't appreciate.
Today, my grandmother and parents are gone. I miss them still so much. Believe me, they had their faults, but they were intelligent, interesting, warm, and loving.
I wish I could go back to 1980. I would tell myself not to worry about coming out. It would be hard, but your family loves you...not to waste time worrying.
And i would tell my parents and grandmother how much I loved them and still carry them and what they taught me with me always.

The (pre-release) promotional blitz for the movie Xanadu (Universal) and its accompanying soundtrack was done on a massive scale. It rolled out by appearing in TV, radio and print media beginning in May of 1980 leading up to the theatrical movie release (August 8, 1980). I was a precocious 8 yrs old gayling, who idolized Olivia Newton-John. I recall the singles by ON-J and ELO being played A LOT on the radio. I also recall seeing TV commercials, interviews, an hour- long syndicated TV special “The Making of Xanadu”. Several major magazine features with Olivia appearing on the cover as well. Ah, to be a kid again during the summer of 1980…

Or perhaps the troll that kept insisting Kristy McNichol was *not* homely? That person is the one that just keeps insisting over and over again how inherently wrong I was - and how DARE I very think that, instead of just keeping it at one comment.
What if they had chosen to argue about r62 's assertion that Olivia Newton-John being "stunningly gorgeous?" What if they just KEPT on saying over and over that she WASN'T stunningly gorgeous, that she was simply pretty? And what if r62 chose to respond that *they* thought she WAS? Would that make r62 a troll too?
Or should that person who disagreed just let it go with one comment disagreeing? Yes, they should have. Instead, they've chosen to answer at least 5 times now (even as another poster, mind you) and draw this all out.
Why were they so insistent I was wrong, instead of just letting me have the opinion (and my friends and others I grew up with) that she was homely?

The band played on until 1984 in the fabulously popular SF bath house scene. Trust me, I can report from personal experience that it was very lively in 1980. The CDC started investigating what later became known as HIV in April of 1981 and the first mainstream reporting appeared in the New York Times on July 3 of that year about clusters of cases in San Francisco and NYC.
I remember that date only because, on the other side of the country, I read that article in the Times and went to a NYC bar that might as well have been a bathhouse that night.

Prior to that July 3 article in the Times, I had one friend who started getting sick in Los Angeles in 1978. His doctors didn't understand it. His main symptom was that he kept losing weight. In 1981, I heard about a friend in New York who was in and out of the hospital because, I was told, of "amoebas." A lot of gay men, apparently, "had amoebas." The New York friend died very early on. I never saw him again.

My best friend was among the first wave of deaths. He would frequently head up to SF for a weekend of fun at the bath houses. He was young, gorgeous, and lived the fabulous Hollywood lifestyle.
