MAGIC - sung by Olivia Newton-John in the film "Xanadu"
Composer: John Farrar

Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding you

Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe
We are magic
Nothing can stand in our way
Have to believe
We are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive
Bring all your dreams alive
For you
Bring all your dreams alive
For you

From where I stand
You are home free
Planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you

Through every turn
I'll be near you
Come any time you call
Catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe
We are magic
Nothing can stand in our way
Have to believe
We are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive
Bring all your dreams alive
For you
Bring all your dreams alive
For you

Dear Lea,

Above are the lyrics to the haunting song "MAGIC" sung by Olivia Newton-John in the movie "XANADU"  (1980 Universal Studios). You will find it on Track 3 of the Music CD I am sending to you which I hope you will do me the honour of kindly accepting.

This new Music CD is called "Olivia Newton-John  - The Definitive Collection".

There are 21 separate tracks including "You're The One That I Want" (from "Grease"), "Xanadu", "Sam", I Honestly Love You", "Hopelessly Devoted To You", "Suddenly (beautifully sung with Cliff Richard), "A Little More Love", "Summer Nights", "Physical", Banks Of The Ohio", "Take Me Home Country Roads", "Long Live Love" "If Not For You" plus a bonus 22nd track which contains a megamix of 3 songs from the 1978 movie "Grease" in which Olivia starred with John Travolta.  When you are feeling a little better, I hope that you will be able to listen to it.

The eight-page booklet that accompanies the CD includes this text.

....Olivia was devastated when she was diagnosed with cancer in her right breast in July 1992. Even so, with characteristic lack of self-pity, she commented at the time: "I never felt sorry for myself or victimised: I felt 'Why not me?'." 

Following surgery and chemo-therapy, Olivia began to embrace a healthy lifestyle wholeheartedly, realising that her brush with death should not be underestimated. "This experience has really changed me", she explained in 1998, as her 50th birthday approached. "Now I wake up and I'm grateful for each and every morning. I'm thrilled to get older".

In fact, Olivia's new-found fame as a breast cancer survivor pleases her. "It makes me proud to be someone who can inspire and help people" ....the latter half of the 1990s also brought renewed musical success.

In 1998, she teamed up with Cliff Richard for her first live performance in many years, followed by a tour of the United States in 1999 and 2000, plus another one in Hong Kong and Korea. That same year saw Olivia singing to her largest audience yet - performing a duet with Australian superstar John Farnham at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics...

Her recent experiences have also given her strength, both musically and personally, and allowed her to indulge her lifelong love of the living environment ....Being a mother, a cancer survivor and an active environmentalist (with Kelly Preston, John Travolta's wife, she formed CHEC - Childrens Health Environmental Coalition, to educate parents on how to protect their children from poisons in the environment and research the environmental causes of cancer) has made Olivia Newton-John re-assess her priorities. "Having cancer absolutely puts everything into perspective. My career has been a wonderful blessing, but it's not who I am, it's what I do.  The things that matter are family, friends and health. I've enjoyed incredible success and I feel very, very blessed."   As do her fans, to have enjoyed three decades of brilliance from the ultimate professional.

NB. When Olivia recorded the song "Physical" (in 1981), she thought that the words were a bit raunchy ("I want to get physical - let me hear your body talk") and she was worried that some of her fans might be a bit shocked!  - so when she did the video for the song, she made it as a Gym Workout (i.e. doing physical exercises - Jane Fonda style!). That way, she neatly got around what she thought might have been be a problem! 

It is said that "The King" Elvis Presley liked her singing too back in the 70's.

    
Olivia Newton-John and also with John Travolta (from the movie set of "Grease").

Best wishes Lea and we hope to see you here in London one day.

Thinking of you always.

Victor.

Dear Friends,

I cannot tell you how delighted I am to hear the wonderful news that Larry Flynt of the "HUSTLER" organisation has come to the rescue of the lovely and gracious Czech star, the beautiful Lea De Mae, now very ill in Prague awaiting a further scan to gauge the extent of the hold on her of this cursed illness that has afflicted her out of the blue.

The adult movie world owes a debt of gratitude to Larry Flynt and "Hustler" as a caring and compassionate individual and company. It is a world that needs some changes too, I think and I hope to contact some of the American female stars, who I suspect would agree with me, like Jenna Jameson and Jill Kelly.

When I saw Juhani's news that Mark Hamilton, the Vice-President of "Hustler" in America had come through for Lea, and after such a depressing start to the day when I read Chris's latest news that Lea was unable to talk to her friends and was in considerable pain, I was so pleased and feel that there has been a breakthrough.  When I was typing my "thank you" for Larry and his esteemed company (please see below), I was crying because I was so touched by this act of kindness and compassion from Larry Flynt and Mark  - giving Lea another chance hopefully in her fight to regain her health and strength.

During the day, I was out getting a companion DVD for Lea of the Olivia Newton-John's movie "Xanadu" to go with the Music CD I wrote about before receiving the latest terrible news from Chris, which was very hard to accept. Nonetheless, I remembered that even people who have been in a coma have re-awakened unexpectedly when hearing a favourite song or familiar sound, so I have two musical items to send off to Prague now. Olivia Newton-John, who you may famously know from "Grease" with the young John Travolta is herself a cancer-survivor.

My words of thanks to Larry Flynt and "Hustler" read as under,...

                                    On behalf of all Silvia Saint's Fans and Forum members,
                                      and all well-wishers and supporters to Lea De Mae. 
                                              1st November 2004  - a day to remember!

This act of kindness will never be forgotten and will be recorded in the history books of this industry.

I call upon the entire adult movie world to thank Larry Flynt for his compassionate act.

Thank you a million, Larry Flynt and thank you Mark Hamilton, Vice-President of "Hustler" for this good deed and also thanks to Dennis (Black Magic Media) in Belgium for the kind introduction to Mark at "Hustler", USA.

Larry - you have answered our prayers for Lea - here on Earth - in these efforts to help Lea to regain her health. You have our eternal gratitude.

Dear Lea,  remember we are thinking of you always, every day, every moment.

All around the world, we are willing you on. We know you will be brave and that you are surrounded by loved ones and true friends.

Tonight, sleep peacefully dear Lea and have renewed hope for the future and our love and thoughts will make you stronger still.

Sweet and lovely Lea, may God bless you and keep you safe.

Dear Friends,

For my little present from London to Lea via Oldrich Widman,
I have chosen a nice 2005 Calendar plus 3 music CD selections by Elvis Presley
(as I read on the Web that Lea likes rock 'n' roll!).

The 2005 Calendar's inside page reads,...


~  "Special" Is the Word That Best Describes You  ~

"Special" is a word that is used to describe something one-of-a-kind,

like a hug or a sunset or a person who spreads love with a smile or

kind gesture. "Special" describes people who act from the heart and

keep in mind the hearts of others. "Special" applies to something

that is admired and precious and that can never be replaced.

"Special" is the word that best describes you. 


- Teri Fernandez -

and the first paragraph of the text on page 4 reads,...


"You are something - and someone - very special.  You really are.

No one else in this entire world is exactly like you, and there are so

many beautiful things about you. You're a one-of-a-kind treasure, uniquely

here in this space and time. You are here to shine in your own wonderful

way, sharing your smile in the best way you can, and remembering all the

while that a little light somewhere makes a brighter light everywhere.

You can - and you do - make a wonderful contribution to this world."

- Douglas Pagels -



The 3 Music Cds (with 64 tracks in all) that I chose for Lea are:-

"ELVIS 30 #1 HITS"      (Gold cover)   
- 30 songs + bonus remix of "A Little Less Conversation".

"ELVIS 2ND TO NONE"  (Silver cover)  -  28 songs + two bonus songs.

"RUBBERNECKIN'"     -  three versions of the song (including the original 1969 version).

NB. If any London fans read this in time and if you want to send any cards or gifts
to Lea too via Oldrich Widman, please e-mail me if possible in the next 10 hours
or so and I will arrange to meet you in town tonight (in Soho) and you can give
them to Oldrich to take back to Lea in Prague in person.
Likewise, if you want to send a card to Silvia.

Regards, Victor. Friday 19th November 2004.  2.43am. London.
