We are saddened to inform you that Susan Buckner, the star actress known for her role as Patty Simcox in the iconic movie musical GREASE, has passed away at the age of 72. Susan’s portrayal of Patty, Sandy’s cheerleading friend, brought joy to millions of fans around the world.
Susan’s family shared that she passed away peacefully in Miami, surrounded by her loved ones. Throughout her career, she made appearances on popular TV shows such as The Mac Davis Show, Sonny and Cher, and The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. Susan’s dedication to her craft was evident in every role she took on.
Her most famous role as Rydell High cheerleader Patty in 1977 made her a household name. Patty was known for her enthusiasm and school spirit. From leading cheer chants to doing the splits, Patty’s character brought energy to every scene she was in.
Susan is survived by her son Adam Josephs and daughter Samantha Mansfield. She will also be dearly missed by her sister Linda, her partner Al, and her four grandchildren. The outpouring of love and condolences from fans on social media is a testament to the impact she had on their lives.
Susan’s passing comes as another blow to the cast of GREASE, as it has been less than two years since the death of her co-star Olivia Newton-John. Olivia, who played Sandy in the film, passed away in August 2022 after a long battle with breast cancer. Her story of resilience and bravery in the face of illness has inspired many.
In memory of Olivia, her family established the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer. They ask that donations be made to the foundation in her honor. Olivia’s battle with cancer was a personal one, yet she remained a strong advocate for raising awareness.
John Travolta, who played Danny opposite Olivia in GREASE, led a heartfelt tribute to her. He expressed his love and admiration for Olivia, noting the positive impact she had on everyone she encountered. The director of GREASE, Randal Kleiser, also shared his sorrow, describing Olivia as a unique and genuinely kind person.
Susan Buckner and Olivia Newton-John will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Their contributions to the film industry and the joy they brought to audiences will never be forgotten. May they both rest in peace, knowing that they have left a lasting legacy.
