- After winning "Miss California," Margia was discovered by agents during the "Miss America" competition in which she won first prize in the talent area.
- Margia was offered roles on Broadway following the attention she received at the "Miss America Pageant," but instead went back home to finish high school and married her teenage sweetheart, Hal Fischer, in 1939 at age 17. Fischer went on to become a second-string All-American player and well-known basketball coach. The marriage did not last (less than six years) but the two remained friends.
- Married author and architect Felipe Alvarez, who was well known for his singing while accompanying himself on classical guitar on Brazilian TV.
- According to her website www.margiadean.com, she worked for major studios such as Columbia, MGM, 20th Century Fox and Paramount and minor ones like United Artists, Republic and Monogram.
- Writer-turned-MGM talent agent Frank Orsatti and famed director Gregory La Cava both saw potential in Margia's career but died before either could make good on their efforts.
- I starred and co-starred in approximately 30 motion pictures, mostly low-budget films, where you usually did everything in one take. I often wonder if some of the superstars of today could do that and even be adequate.
- [on Scott Brady, with whom she worked on Le Cri de guerre des Apaches (1958)] I didn't like Scott Brady. We clashed and had a feud! He was very cocky and rude. He would tell smutty jokes on purpose, trying to shock you. I did know him socially, but he was not my cup of tea. He's pretty lousy. There was a scene in the film where he's carrying me off, all the while saying vile things to me as the camera rolled! I knew his brother, Lawrence Tierney, who was a very nice guy. It's sad how he became a drunk and even a derelict for awhile. On a positive note, Scott did help him financially--he did things for Lawrence.
- [on Jock Mahoney, with whom she worked in Moro Witch Doctor (1964)] Jock Mahoney was not very pleasant to work with. He wasn't gracious or warm or anything. He didn't do anything wrong, he was tall and nice looking with sex appeal for some people. But he was a pompous ass, and pardon me for saying that, but he just wasn't friendly or pleasant.
- [on Cesar Romero, with whom she worked in Villa!! (1958)] Cesar Romero was terrific, charming, so witty, so humorous and down-to-earth. He was the only one good in the picture--I didn't like myself or Brian Keith, but of course we had the terrible direction [James B. Clark]. Cesar was so handsome, what a waste that he was a homosexual. He was so masculine, until he drank--then it showed--the campy way they are. He wasn't a big drinker, but when he did take a drink, he gave it away.
