- In addition to their radio work -- the show later aired on the ABC network -- Alexander and Collyer provided voice-overs in 17 animated Superman shorts, made by Fleischer and Paramount studios, that played in movie theaters during World War II. They reteamed in the late 1960s to do voice-overs for the Saturday morning cartoon "The New Adventures of Superman" on CBS.

- Mother of 'Jane Stanton Hitchcock' (qv), born in 1946. Her third husband, Arthur Stanton, adopted Jane in 1955.
- She initially was drawn to modeling before switching to acting. She started studying under Yiddish theatre director Benno Schneider. It was at this juncture that she changed her moniker and borrowed her first name from actress 'Joan Crawford (I)' (qv).
- She is survived by her daughter, Jane Stanton Hitchcock of New York City and Washington D.C. and son, Timothy of New York City, and a grandson, Liam, and a half sister, Elaine Rebay McDonald.
- After his death, Arthur Stanton reportedly left Alexander $70 million. In 2008, she filed a lawsuit accusing her financial advisors of fraud, professional malpractice and other crimes for losing or stealing much of that fortune. The case was pending at the time of Joan's death.
