A Front Row Seat

Nancy Olson Livingston is an Academy Award-nominated actress who appeared in numerous well-known films, including Sunset Boulevard (1950), The Absent-Minded Professor (1961), and many others. Her autobiography, A Front Row Seat: An Intimate Look at Broadway, Hollywood, and the Age of Glamour delivers her story exceptionally.

As is indicated by the title, the story begins with intimate recollections, though they are not relegated to the start of the text. Rather, the whole autobiography is one that has been constructed beautifully by Olson and her memories, not shying away from discussion difficult and personal moments.

The book also includes a variety of photographs depicting Olson as well as her friends and family members throughout different moments of her life.

A Front Row Seat: An Intimate Look at Broadway, Hollywood, and the Age of Glamour is not to be missed by fans of classic film–particularly those who have
