- Since the 2015 death of co-writer D.M. Marshman Jr., Olson has been the last surviving credited cast member of Viale del tramonto (1950).
- Her then-husband Alan Jay Lerner's 1956 iconic smash hit musical, "My Fair Lady", was dedicated "For Nancy, With Love".
- As of 2022, she is the second earliest surviving recipient of a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination, behind only Ann Blyth who was nominated in 1946 for Il romanzo di Mildred (1945). Olson was nominated in 1951 for Viale del tramonto (1950).
- Was up for the role of Delilah in Cecil B. DeMille's lavish 1949 costumer Sansone e Dalila (1949), for which she candidly admitted she was not suited. Hedy Lamarr got the role.
- Gave birth to her 1st child at age 23, a daughter Liza Lerner on October 12, 1951 and to her 2nd child at age 25, a daughter Jennifer Lerner on August 26, 1953 (both by Olson's first husband, Alan Jay Lerner). She gave birth to her 3rd child at age 36, a son Christopher Livingston on November 13, 1964; his father was Olson's second husband, Alan Livingston.
- I'll tell you a funny story. Cecil B. DeMille - I'm laughing when I'm saying this - considered me to play Delilah in Samson and Delilah, and thank God he made the right choice and he put Hedy Lamarr in that role.
- I felt my life was absolutely closed in. I spent two hours with makeup men and hairdressers and then I would go on the set and sit and wait. My friends were having a life outside. I said, 'I don't really want to be a movie star.'
- Billy Wilder did something unusual before I was cast. I would be walking through the streets of Paramount on my way to the commissary where I would watch everybody enter. He would catch up with me and he asked me what I was studying in school and what UCLA was like. It wasn't until years later I thought, 'How did I get into that movie?' I think it was that the role of Betty Schaefer is a young woman who is an aspiring writer. He thought that maybe that could be believable with me.
