Schenectady bistro honors Olivia Newton-John
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Tributes for actress and singer Olivia Newton-John continue after she passed away on Monday. Ambition Coffee House & Eatery in Schenectady is honoring her with a special sandwich for the next week.
All proceeds from the sandwich will go toward her cancer research institute in Australia. Newton-John visited the bistro a few times when she was in the area, and owner Marc Renson said she has been an inspiration.
"She was a wonderful person," he said. "You never saw anything bad of her in the headlines. She was just a positive influence."
The restaurant wall is covered with photos of Newton-John celebrating her biggest hits, including her role as a costar in "Grease" alongside John Travolta.
