From her idyllic childhood in the American midwest, to her
Oscar-nominated performance in Sunset Boulevard (1950) and the
social circles of New York and Los Angeles, actress Nancy Olson
Livingston has lived abundantly. In her memoir, A Front Row Seat,
Livingston treats readers to an intimate, charming chronicle of her
life as an actress, wife, and mother, and her memories of many of
the most notable figures and moments of her time. Livingston shares
reminiscences of her marriages to lyricist and librettist Alan Jay
Lerner, creator of award-winning musicals Paint Your Wagon, Gigi,
and My Fair Lady (which was dedicated to her), and Alan Wendell
Livingston, former president of Capitol Records, who created Bozo
the Clown and signed legendary musical artists including Nat King
Cole, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The
Band and Don McLean. One of the last living actors of the Golden
Age of Hollywood, Livingston shares memorable encounters with
countless celebrities face=Calibri>- William Holden, Billy
Wilder, Bing Crosby, Marilyn Monroe, and John Wayne to name a few
face=Calibri>- and less pleasant experiences with Howard Hughes
and John F. Kennedy that act as reminders of women's long struggle
for equality and dignity. Entertaining and engrossing, A Front Row
Seat deftly interweaves Livingston's life with her observations of
the artists, celebrities, and luminaries with whom she came in
contact - a paean to the 20th century and a treasure for readers
enamored with a bygone era.
