Timeline

1933

Her mother was born and raised in Germany to a German Jewish academic family who came to the UK in 1933 to escape the Nazi regime.

Newton-John's maternal grandfather was German Jewish Nobel Prize–winning physicist Max Born.

Her maternal grandmother Hedwig was the daughter of German Jewish jurist Victor Ehrenberg, and of his Lutheran wife, Helene Agatha von Jhering.

Through Helene Agatha, Newton-John was a descendant of Protestant theologian Martin Luther.

Helene Agatha's own father, Newton-John's great-great-grandfather, was jurist Rudolf von Jhering.

Newton-John's uncle was pharmacologist Gustav Victor Rudolf Born.

Through her Ehrenberg line, Newton-John was a third cousin of comedian Ben Elton.

Newton-John's father was an MI5 officer on the Enigma project at Bletchley Park who took Rudolf Hess into custody during World War II.

After the war, he became the headmaster of the Cambridgeshire High School for Boys and was in this post when Newton-John was born.

1939

Newton-John was the youngest of three children, following her brother Hugh (1939–2019), a medical doctor, and her sister Rona (1941–2013), an actress who was married to restaurateur Brian Goldsmith and was later married to Newton-John's Grease co-star Jeff Conaway (from 1980 until their divorce in 1985).

She also had a half-brother, Toby, and a half-sister, Sarah, both of whom were born of her father's second marriage.

Newton-John attended Christ Church Grammar School in the Melbourne suburb of South Yarra and then the University High School in Parkville.

At age 14, with three classmates, Newton-John formed a short-lived, all-girl group called Sol Four which often performed at a coffee shop owned by her brother-in-law.
