- An ardent supporter of civil rights, Bankhead was the first white woman to appear on the cover of Ebony magazine. She also appeared on the covers of TIME and LIFE.
- She was said to be the inspiration for the character of Cruella De Vil in Walt Disney's La noche de las narices frías (1961).
- Her role as the Black Widow on the television series Batman (1966) is the last on-screen appearance she made.
- She smoked around 120 cigarettes a day.
- Once told an interviewer that the reason she addressed everyone she saw as "Dahling" was because she was bad at remembering names.
- [when asked by gossip columnist Earl Wilson if she had ever been mistaken for a man on the telephone] No, have you?
- I was there in the south of France when Zelda [Fitzgerald], poor darling, went off her head. She had gone into a flower shop and suddenly for her all the flowers had faces. Of course, some flowers, such as pansies, DO have faces.
- [on seeing a former lover for the first time in years] I thought I told you to wait in the car.
- I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.
- The only man in theater who can count on steady work is the night watchman.
