Nancy Olson wurde für den Film entdeckt, als sie als Studentin an der Universität von Los Angeles Theater spielte. 1950 heiratete sie den Musicalautor Alan Jay Lerner. Im gleichen Jahr spielte sie die Freundin von William Holden in Billy Wilders Boulevard der Dämmerung und erhielt eine Oscarnominierung. So erfolgversprechend und schnell ihre Karriere in Hollywood begann, so endete sie als sie Mutter von zwei Kindern wurde. Sie war fortan nur noch sporadisch auf der Leinwand zu sehen. Die Ehe mit Lerner wurde 1957 geschieden.
