- ParentesThelma Worth(Cousin)
- A few months after she was born her father seemingly deserted the family for the Klondike gold strike. As it turned out, he made $25,000--a small fortune in today's terms--and returned to the family.
- After she retired from the film industry she and her husband ran a business called Ashtrays Unlimited until her death.
- Compson had a reputation for frugality and being a very mercenary negotiator with the studios.
- Compson was sent a 1912 Rolls-Royce by a South American who had it stored in a New York garage. As she already had a limo, she was initially annoyed but later discovered she could rent it to the movie studios at $100 per day. She ultimately made $20,000 on it before selling it. This situation may have been the inspiration for a similar situation in Crepúsculo dos Deuses (1950).
- She claimed that director George Loane Tucker taught her almost everything she knew, "the best of literature, music, all the arts, everything".
- [About George Loane Tucker] I fell in love with Tucker, but it did me no good - he was married.
- They say I love money. I do, though it was pretty cold comfort, a pretty poor substitute, for all I'd lost. But, believe me, I wasn't going to pass up that much money for any false pride. Or any hurt I got down there on Poverty Row. I think if I hadn't felt that way, hadn't worked, I would have been done forever. I'd have gone straight to hell, to be frank about it.
