Nancy Olson certainly put her heart and soul into her movie debut playing Cecille Gautier in Canadian Pacific (1949). She appeared in ten scenes (plus minor continuity scenes) where she either hugged Randolph Scott or was involved in feisty exchanges with the other characters. In the whipping scene with Victor Jory (Nancy held the whip), she literally left her mark.

Nancy Olson made her movie debut in a Western, Canadian Pacific (1949). In a curious piece of casting, this colour movie featured Nancy, a blue-eyed blonde with her family’s roots firmly entrenched in Scandinavia, as a ‘half-breed’ Indian. Furthermore, her fiancé, Randolph Scott, was old enough to be her father. Welcome to the wonderful world of the movies, Nancy Olson.

I’m starting a new feature on my website and social media looking at 20th century movies and music through the life of Nancy Olson. Nancy came to prominence in 1950 through her Oscar nominated performance in Sunset Boulevard. She married twice, to lyricist Alan Jay Lerner, and to Capitol Records executive Alan W. Livingston. Nancy is 95 and I think her life story is fascinating. I hope you will enjoy the items I intend to share.
