- Her childhood dinner for many years consisted of tabasco and saltine crackers (which often resulted in bad dreams--her missing the bus to ballet class).
- Took ballet as a child and always played the boys' role due to being the tallest in her class.
- As of 2004, she is the only actress to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress (Drama) without getting an Oscar nomination for the same performance (for Madame Sousatzka (1988)).
- Right before a performance of Cinderella with the Washington School of Ballet (she was dancing the role of the Fairy Godmother), she was warming up backstage when she broke her ankle. Instead of bowing out, she simply tied the ribbon on her toe shoes tighter and danced the role through. After the show was over, she called for an ambulance.
- Was close friends with the members of the Rat Pack. She starred with all of them in Ocean's Eleven (1960). Other works with Rat Pack members include: Some Came Running (1958), Cannonball Run II (1984) and Can-Can (1960).

- Columbia originally wanted to cast her as Fanny Brice in _Funny Girl (1968)_ , however Ray Stark who produced the Broadway show and was Brice's son-in-law, insisted on `Barbra Streisand' repeating her Broadway role.
- Her performance as Aurora Greenway in "Terms of Endearment" (1983) is ranked #81 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.
