On August 8, 1980, the musical fantasy film “Xanadu” premiered in theaters, starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. This vibrant movie combined elements of roller disco and Greek mythology, captivating audiences with its unique style and memorable soundtrack.

John Travolta was originally offered the role of Sonny, but he turned it down to star in “Urban Cowboy.”
