- Kennedy was cast in Je retourne chez maman (1952) at the insistence of screenwriter Ruth Gordon. Director George Cukor had originally wanted Ina Claire, while Florence Bates, Dorothy Gish, and Frieda Inescort were also considered. Cukor acceded to Gordon's request and was delighted by the results.
- She was dissatisfied with her films for Samuel Goldwyn as she was exclusively cast as a comedienne and in farcical stories.
- After Kennedy and her husband formed their own production company, they purchased the film rights to "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall." When they were unable to find appropriate backing, they sold the property to Mary Pickford.
- In 1921, journalist Heywood Broun described her as "the best farce actress in New York".
- Madge Kennedy was a stage, film and television actress whose career began as a stage actress in 1912 and flourished in motion pictures during the silent film era.
- [speaking of the inexperienced people making silent movies in Fort Lee, New Jersey under chaotic conditions about 1917] It really was a case of the blind leading the blind, and we were all really grateful for some voice of authority to speak, anybody who could lay down the law and help us get the job done.
- [on her last film "Marathon Man"] When you're no longer the love interest, you can play anything. If you have a good seat on a broomstick, you can make a good witch.
