- She was romantically involved with writer/producer Michael Powell, who was responsible for her early stardom in the late 1940s. He was named as co-respondent when she was divorced from her husband, former pilot USAAF pilot John Daniel Bowen, in 1950. She later became friendly with Powell's third wife, the Oscar-winning film editor Thelma Schoonmaker.
- In the mid-'60s she suffered a broken pelvis and several broken ribs in a car accident which kept her out of British films. After recovering she was frequently cast in matriarchal roles predominantly on TV.
- Was cast as Lauren Bacall's sister in Lars von Trier's film Dogville (2003), but had to pass on the role due to ill health.
- Her father Richard Fell was a railway clerk who later became a Labour mayor of the County Borough of East Ham. She was a student at East Ham Grammar School.
- Kathleen had a son, Jasper Jacob, and a daughter, Harriet Jacob, with husband Alaric Jacob and a stepdaughter, Aurora Jacob, from Alaric's previous marriage.
- [on her film debut] While I was still at the Old Vic Drama School I came up to London to try and find an agent; I met John Gliddon, who was Deborah Kerr's agent, and he sent me to see the people who were doing The Young Mr. Pitt (1942). They gave me a part and, after that, I used to go around saying 'I had two lines opposite Robert Donat!'. I did very little after that because of the war and I was working for censorship.
