- She always loved to sleep, and her tombstone carries an admonition not to wake her while she's getting her beauty sleep; "Go Away - I'm Asleep"
- She won an Obie award in 1961 for "Call Me By My Rightful Name".
- Interred at Hollywood Memorial Cemetery (now called Hollywood Forever), Hollywood, California, USA, in the Abbey of the Psalms, Sanctuary of Faith, 2nd from bottom, near the end of the hall.
- Ravaged by cancer, a few weeks prior to her death, she checked herself out of the hospital to host a wedding party at her Beverly Hills home for Carrie Fisher and Paul Simon. Just a few days later her condition rapidly deteriorated. She then spent her last few weeks at Encino Hospital under aggressive treatment. She lost her battle on October 8th 1983 (Sat) at 9:15 pm.
- A firm believer in the paranormal, and while on location in Texas filming "Harnessing The Sun", she persuaded the film's director, Dirk Wayne Summers, to fly in a "clairvoyant-aura reader" to the location site. She then arranged for the entire crew to receive "extrasensory readings," with the 'clairvoyant' spending a week with the film's cast and crew. When Director Summers was questioned by a reporter from a Dallas newspaper as to "why he approved such unusual arrangements-- and did CBS know"? Summers answered, saying that "Joan Hackett is so great to work with and so perfect in her role, that I would have flown in Uri Geller if Joan had wanted him."
- Filmed in 1980-1981, Harnessing the Sun (1980) was her last picture, although some films shot earlier (i.e., "Only When I Laugh") were released after her final apearance in "Harnessing The Sun."
- Daughter of Irish and Italian immigrant parents, and educated at Catholic schools in NYC.
- Former sister-in-law of Robert Mulligan.
