- Son, with Colin Friels, Jack.
- Erroneously described as having dropped out of convent school at age 17 so she could travel around the world. Davis has said she most certainly graduated high school before touring with a band throughout Asia.
- One of her most famous films is also one of her least favorite: My Brilliant Career (1979). Although it propelled her to major stardom, she was miserable during its filming and cannot stand to watch it today.
- She began filming Celebrity (1998) less than two weeks after giving birth to her daughter Charlotte. During production on the film, her husband Colin Friels contracted pancreatic cancer and nearly died.
- [2000] Was reportedly in talks to appear in "Cloudstreet," an adaptation of an Australian best-seller which would have been directed by Peter Duncan and also starred Geoffrey Rush, Anna Paquin, and Heath Ledger. For whatever reason, the project never made it off the ground.
