Front Row Classics is proud to welcome Nancy Olson Livingston this week. Ms. Livingston sits down with Brandon to discuss her remarkable life as told in her upcoming memoir, "A Front Row Seat: An Intimate Look at Broadway, Hollywood, and the Age of Glamour". The book chronicles her life, career and marriages to Alan Jay Lerner and Alan Livingston. Her life reads like a road map to the arts and politics of the 20th Century. Ms. Livingston tells Brandon many amazing stories regarding encounters with such figures as William Holden, John Wayne, JFK, Walt Disney and The Beatles.
"A Front Row Seat: An Intimate Look at Broadway, Hollywood, and the Age of Glamour" will be available later this month wherever books are sold from University Press of Kentucky.
