- In 2002, she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event for her one-woman show "Bea Arthur on Broadway: Just Between Friends".
- According to a television interview, Arthur claims that her start in comedy came when she was only a lounge singer. Apparently, when she got up on stage to sing torch songs, the audience would laugh at her because of her deep voice and her height. The nightclub manager then approached her and told her she was in the wrong business. She should be doing comedy instead.
- Has two sons, Matthew Saks (born July 14, 1961) and Daniel Saks (born May 8, 1964).
- Her first real name, Bernice, is pronounced like Bur-ness.
- Served in the United States Marine Corps.
