- Parents
- MacArthur was the adopted son of actress Helen Hayes and playwright Charles MacArthur. His elder sister, the couple's biological daughter, Mary (for whom he named his own elder daughter), died in 1949 of polio. Hayes established the Mary MacArthur Fund, which helps children with polio along with the March of Dimes. Actress Lillian Gish was his godmother.
- Was the final member of the Hawaii police d'état (1968) TV series original cast to pass away.
- Stated that one of his favorite Hawaii police d'état (1968) episodes was Retire in Sunny Hawaii... Forever (1975), because he was able to work on screen with his mother, Helen Hayes (who played his Aunt Clara).
- MacArthur was in talks to make a cameo appearance on the new Hawaii 5-0 (2010) series, but passed away before the details could be worked out.
- MacArthur had four children: Charles Pennock MacArthur, Mary Hayes (MacArthur) McClure, Juliette Nicole (MacArthur) Rappaport, James Duntz MacArthur, and seven grandchildren.
- Among certain stratas of the population, there could be a backlash, but I don't think that actors getting into the political arena affects their careers. Just because one's an actor doesn't mean we should be penalized because we have a broader forum due to the nature of our business. Besides, I'm not so sure how much influence actors really have. And anyone who votes for a candidate solely on the advice of his favorite actor isn't too bright in my book.

- [on leaving Hawaii police d'état (1968)] I grew bored. The stories became more bland and predictable, and presented less and less challenge to me as an actor.
- I don't look like Danno any more with my white hair. There's such a difference. My God, it was 35 years ago.
