- Marion owned a collection of antique doorknobs, a hobby that was incorporated into her quirky Aunt Clara character on Bewitched (1964). The props department often used some of her pieces on the show.
- She appeared in only three movies during her career. Coincidentally, in The Girl Rush (1955) with Rosalind Russell, Marion played the role of Aunt Clara, the same name as her most famous character on TV.
- Died 10 days before winning an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress Award in a Comedy Series (for Bewitched (1964)).
- When she was still alive, most sources gave 1888 as her birth year. But after she died, the Social Security Death Index gave 1883 as her birth year. Her grave has 1885 on it, and to make it more confusing, 1886 is sometimes given.
- None of her productions at the Whitehall Theater In London had runs shorter than 125 nights.
- Alumna of the AADA (American Academy of Dramatic Arts), Class of 1904.
- Had a younger brother, Lorne Taylor MacDougall (October 20, 1893 - September 5, 1943).
- Appeared in the film The Graduate (1967) along side Alice Ghostley who replaced the "bumbling witch" character in the series Bewitched.
- Marion's ashes are interred at Ferncliff Cemetery, Hartsdale, NY.
