SHE WASN’T AFRAID OF DYING

Olivia’s niece – singer and actress Tottie Goldsmith – said her aunt’s death wasn’t a shock.

“We’ve known how sick she’s been,” the 59-year-old explained, revealing she said her farewells to Olivia over Facetime.

“I said to her, ‘Are you afraid of dying?’ and she said, ‘Plonker, I’m not afraid. I’ve done more in my life that I could have ever imagined.’”

Tottie also confirmed the family will accept the offer of a state funeral for the star.

“I think Australia needs it – she’s so loved,” she said.
