• The painting of young Charlotte is of Bette Davis in her role as Julie in Jezebel.
• When the taxi pulls up with cousin Miriam inside and stops at the foot of the steps, if you look closely before Miriam gets out you can just for a split moment see it is fact Joan Crawford in the back and not Olivia de Havilland. You can't see Crawford's face but you can tell it's her by the black dress and dark sunglasses that she is wearing. When de Haviland as Miriam is seen in the taxi before she arrives she is wearing a white hat and her clothing is light colored.
• When Olivia de Havilland agreed to make the film, Robert Aldrich called Bette Davis and asked her to keep the news a secret until his return, when he would legally inform Joan Crawford and her lawyer by letter. Bette didn't wait and she called her press agent who immediately leaked the story to the press.
• When Miriam Deering (Olivia de Havilland) is preparing to close up the house in anticipation of moving out, she is packing a box which is stenciled "Sam Strangis Storage & Transfer, Baton Rouge, LA.". Sam Strangis was the assistant director on this picture.
