Didi Conn- Actress (Frenchie in Grease) & Autism' 'Great Walk to Beijing' 'Conversations with Robyn'

This conversation with Didi Conn, was filmed in 2008, in China, on 'The Great Walk to Beijing', which was a fundraiser for the ‘Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research and Wellness Centre.’
Although this epic journey has long been completed, the ongoing commitment of Olivia and all the walkers, became a reality in 2012, when the ‘Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre' was opened in Melbourne. The website now, for donations to keep Olivia's vision of a world free from cancer is www.onjcri.org.au
Didi played Frenchie in the Grease movie, with Olivia and John Travolta. Didi shares about her friendship with Olivia, including Olivia’s nervousness on her first day on the set of the movie ‘Grease’.
Additionally, she shares her vast experience and understanding of Autism, as her adopted son is on the spectrum.
Didi also shares about how she came to be on the 'Great Walk to Beijing' with Olivia and Cliff Richard, and her experience of the walk on the Great China Wall…interwoven with footage filmed on the walk.
And a huge thank you to Paul Schedlowich, all round excellent cinemaphotographer, who came with me on the walk, and filmed the 15 x one-hour episodes, in addition to post-production back in Australia.
