Princess Livingston's captivating appearance and eccentric personality left an indelible mark on the limited number of films she was fortunate enough to be a part of. Born on August 10, 1900, in Queens, New York, she embarked on her show-business journey in the 1940s as a burlesque comedienne, often sharing the stage with a male partner and showcasing her remarkable comedic talents.
Prior to her cinematic debut, Princess Livingston was operating a motel in Hollywood, but her life took an unexpected turn when she was cast in the iconic role of the intimidating woman in the saloon in Russ Meyer's Wild Gals of the Naked West (1962). She went on to appear in a few more films for Meyer, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.
One of her most memorable performances was as the vibrant red-haired woman dancing exuberantly at Z-Man's decadent party in the outrageous camp cult classic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970). Princess Livingston's larger-than-life persona and captivating on-screen presence made her a standout in this cult classic.
Tragically, Princess Livingston passed away at the age of 76 on October 29, 1976, in Los Angeles County, California, leaving behind a legacy that continues to entertain and delight audiences to this day.
