- Interviewed in Tom Weaver`s book "I Was a Monster Movie Maker" (McFarland & Co., 2001).
- Was a favorite of Irving Thalberg and Louis B. Mayer at MGM and they had big plans for her as a big star. Thalberg`s sudden death at age 37 of pneumonia in 1936 put a big damper on the momentum in her pursuit of stardom and was soon relegated to romantic interest roles.
- Is often dubbed `Ireland`s first film star`.
- Despised working with the chimpanzee Cheetah during the filming of the Tarzan movies at MGM and, according to daughter Mia Farrow, privately referred to the primate as "that ape son of a bitch".
- Grandmother of Moses Farrow, Soon-Yi Previn, Daisy Previn and Fletcher Farrow Previn
