- She was not in good standing with Louella Parsons and it kept her career stuck in the "B" ranks. Lee's husband, magazine writer Tom Wood, wrote a frank piece on Parsons which did not go over well with the powerhouse columnist.
- Studio biographies trimmed ten years off her actual age.
- Signed with RKO in 1937 so she could repeat her Broadway performance in Entre bastidores (1937). RKO owned the film rights. However, her role was rewritten for two other actresses, Katharine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers.
- She has appeared in five films that have been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant: El halcón maltés (1941), Lágrimas de antaño (1942), El suplicio de una madre (1945), Vértigo (1958) and Problemas de alcoba (1959).
- Many references list Lee's death date as November 21, 1982, the day before her 81st birthday. This is incorrect. On November 22nd, Lee was in New York and appeared on a live segment of Good Morning America (1975) paying tribute to her old series Topper (1953). She returned to her California home and died of a coronary a few days later. Her death certificate confirms November 25th.
- I never really got over my love for the live theatre. I started on Broadway and found a camaraderie, professionalism and generosity there that was rarely found in film.
- I must first point out that I wasn't a star and never wanted to be. I was quite content to be a featured player, not because I wasn't ambitious, but because featured players were never subjected to any of that great pressure under which pictures were always made.
- "I always tried to find different kinds of roles and, luckily, played them all: big sister, con girl, society matron, hooker, wisecracker, bubble dancer, nuthouse inmate, and even a song-and-dance girl with Errol Flynn, if you can believe it.
