On July 3, 1992, Olivia's husband at the time, Matt Lattanzi, now 63, was contacted by her doctor as the pair changed flights in Seattle.
Dr. Phillips said he wished to see Olivia in person, alluding to the bad news, but Matt kept the possible diagnosis a secret from her as it was already a day of heartache.
Olivia's father, Brinley, had been very ill with liver cancer when he died on July 3.
