- The Cleveland, Ohio-born St. Louis, Missouri-reared Page began her career as a dancer and chorus girl on the club circuit. While performing as a stripper in St. Louis, she was billed as the "Bronze Goddess of Fire" because she lit cigarettes with her fingertips, swallowed fire and touched flaming torches to her body.
- Began her career as a standup comedienne as black theatres and nightclubs, along with comics such as Redd Foxx, and Richard Pryor.
- Played the same character (Aunt Esther Anderson) in four different series: Sanford and Son (1972), Sanford Arms (1977), Sanford (1980), and Unglaubliche Geschichten (1985).
- In 1935, she had a son, who died in infancy. She later had a daughter, Clara, who survived her.
