- Was buried with the trademark bowler that he always wore next to him.
- His trademark bowler was actually a gift from comedian Stan Laurel, which accounts for its oversize.
- Became a heroin addict in his early adult life. In the 1960s he got himself clean, turned his life around and got back into show business.
- Both he and his father, Matthew Sr., a minister in Los Angeles, were born on New Year's Day.
- Got his familiar nickname because frequent "Our Gang" director Robert F. McGowan claimed that Beard always "stymied" [unintentionally frustrated] him on every take.
- [on his "Our Gang" characterization] We knew even then [the 1930s] that "Stymie" was an insult to our race, but it was the Depression and I had seven sisters and six brothers at home.
