- Daughter, with Richard Brooks, Kate Brooks.
- Turned down the role of Jean Pargetter in the British TV series As Time Goes By.
- Naturalized U.S. citizen.
- Becoming depressed at the lack of quality parts being offered her, Jean became addicted to alcohol. In 1986, she sought professional treatment.
- Jean was made an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for services to acting in the 2003 New Year Honours List.
- Played Desiree Armfeldt singing "Send In the Clowns" in the London production of "A Little Night Music" in 1975. It ran for two years.
- In America from the early 50s, Jean found out that RKO head Howard Hughes had purchased the remaining six months of her Rank Studio contract. When Hughes claimed that an oral agreement with Rank precluded her from being loaned out to any other studio, she sued RKO. The legal battle raged for over a year. When the suit was finally settled, RKO had a three-year contract for Jean's services but was obligated to pay Jean $250,000 in addition to her legal fees. Furthermore, Jean won the right to work on loan to other studios at a substantial salary.
- In 1958, she accepted the Oscar for "Best Actor in a Leading Role" on behalf of Alec Guinness, who wasn't present at the awards ceremony
