Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 2743386, member: 833"] She did get sick in the 90's. She was doing both music and acting for a while, and had a couple of big post-Grease hits (I believe Physical was after Grease). I think she did switch to music, which didn't pay off for her because she had a couple of album flops in the 80's. She also took some time off to have a kid, which an actress in her late 30's can't really do. There is plenty of time in her 40's to be mom. Xanadu should not have been that bad from a career standpoint. It was a weird movie, and reviews were not great, but I looked it up and she carried that thing to $22.8 million box office, which isn't terrible for 1980. That would be like $80 million today. Not a bloodbath for a medium budget film, and coming off the prior monster, I would have thought she would keep getting roles. [/QUOTE]
