- Spent much of his childhood raised at the Soldiers' & Sailors' Children's Home, an orphanage in Knightstown, Indiana. His father, whom he didn't know, was killed in a car accident when he was a toddler. He didn't live with his mother and stepfather until much later. The youngest of three boys, his oldest brother was a Marine who was killed in WWII.
- At one time operated a perfume business in Singapore called Perfumes of the Orient. Also opened the first steak house and laundromat there. Also opened some antique shops in Malaysia.
- As of July 2007 he was living in Malaysia and had been there for 40 years, where he continued to write novels and screenplays.
- Changed his name in 1954 from John Fontaine to Jeffrey Stone because it sounded too much like that of actress Joan Fontaine. During their days working for producer David O. Selznick, they kept receiving each other's mail. One time at a premiere he was even introduced as Joan Fontaine.
- Turned down the role of Zorro in the Disney TV series "Zorro" (1957).
- Hollywood was the best time of my life. I was young and in an industry full of glamour and excitement, the whole ball of wax. Looking back, the big imponderable is what would have happened if I hadn't left the States. Famous film writer? Director? Character actor? Who knows. But I have no regrets. Nope, no regrets what-so-ever!
