Olivia Newton-John - Richard's Window (The Other Side of the Mountain) and Jill Kinmont tribute
"Richard's Window" featuring Olivia is a theme song of The Other Side of The Mountain (1975). The song was nominated for the Academy Awards and the Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Song.
Jill Kinmont's remark on "Richard's Window" :
“Olivia Newton-John’s clear, mellow voice singing the poetic lyrics of Norman Gimbel perfectly underscores the importance of the love story and my relationship with Dick Buek. Her singing “Richard’s Window” while twenty Paiute Indian children accompany my electric wheel chair down a country lane in Bishop sums up the full impact of the film and its importance to me. I hope the song sells a million!” (Jill Kinmont, February 18, 1975)
The Other Side of the Mountain Part 2 (1978):
Jill Kinmont Boothe , also known as Jill Kinmont (1936 - 2012):
Jill was a promising U.S. national champion skier, who became an educator and a painter after she was paralyzed (quadriplegic) during a slalom race at age 18. She was a top contender for the 1956 US Olympic team. Her accident occurred the same week she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine in 1955. Her life story was adapted into two Hollywood movies The Other Side of the Mountain (1975) and The Other Side of the Mountain Part 2 (1978). The Other Side of the Mountain was nominated for the Academy Awards (Best Original Song) and the Golden Globe Awards (Best Actress, Best Original Score, Best Original Song). Marilyn Hassett, who played Jill Kinmont, won Golden Globe's Best Acting Debut in a Motion Picture.
Jill Kinmont was inducted into the National Ski Hall of Fame in 1967.
The Jill Kinmont Boothe School (JKBS) :
"JKBS is a county community school operated by the Inyo County Office of Education and named after Jill Kinmont Boothe, who personified the qualities of perseverance, courage, determination and grit by overcoming tremendous challenges and barriers as a quadriplegic her entire adult life. Despite this, Jill led an extremely productive and fulfilling life always in the service of others. It is our hope that her example can serve as a reminder to our students, many of whom face difficult life circumstances and challenges, that with hard work, grit, and a supportive school environment, they can experience success and achieve their dreams and goals."
