Image captionThe black leather jacket and skin-tight trousers that Olivia Newton-John wore for the finale of Grease have fetched $405,700 at auction - more than double the expected bid.
The actress' original script from the film was also among the items at the sale in Beverly Hills, California, which in total raised $2.4m.The buyers' identities are not public. Grease was released in 1978 and Olivia Newton-John played demure Sandy alongside John Travolta as bad boy Danny. The infamous black outfit marked Sandy's transition from a good girl high-schooler to a sexy, leather-clad biker chick, when the couple sang You're the One That I Want in a fairground.The leather trousers were already two decades old when she wore them and had a broken zip that meant Newton-John had to be sewn into them.
What a ridiculous thing on which to spend good money, far better to donate it to a charity.
