IF YOU GO
• Olivia Newton-John performs at Caesars Atlantic City at 9 tonight. Tickets are $63.50, $83.50 and $94, available through Ticketmaster.com or (800) 736-1420.
Until someone on her staff pointed it out to her earlier this year, Olivia Newton-John really hadn’t given much thought to the fact that 2011 marked a rather significant career milestone: 40 years in a fickle business in which some people don’t last 40 minutes.
And so the celebration began — with an asterisk.
“It’s been 40 years since my first hit record, but I’ve actually been singing longer than that,” the singer, actress and activist says during a breakfast-time (tea and a chocolate biscuit) phone call last week from her home in Jupiter Inlet, Fla.
In 1971, Newton-John hit the top of the U.S. adult contemporary chart with the single “If Not For You,” hence the 40-year celebration."
