- Son Charles Chaplin Jr., died of alcohol abuse in 1968.
- As part of her divorce from Charles Chaplin, she received $600,000, the largest cash settlement ever in an American divorce up to that time (the decree was granted on August 22, 1927). Chaplin was also ordered to establish $100,000 trust funds for their sons 'Charles Chaplin Jr.' and Sydney Chaplin. Lita's petition included a 52-page complaint against Charlie, listing his sexual peccadilloes. He settled after she threatened to name five "prominent women" with whom he had been sexually involved while married to Grey.
- Provided the name and some of the inspiration for Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita".
- In 1932, she lost a two-month-long court battle with ex-husband Charles Chaplin to prevent her from starring with their two sons, seven-year-old Charles Chaplin Jr., and six-year-old Sydney Chaplin, in a proposed movie, "The Little Teacher." While Charlie was away on a foreign trip, Lita Grey signed a contract with director David Butler to co-star in the film with the Chaplin boys. Upon returning to the U.S., Chaplin filed suit against her on August 25th, on the grounds that he wanted his boys to lead a normal life. Chaplin's own boyhood had been disrupted by work. On October 26th, the court ruled in Chaplin's favor. The film was never made.
- Lita and Arthur Day adopted a baby boy in 1940 whom they named Robert. When they split up in 1946, Bobby went to live with his paternal grandmother and Lita had little contact with him after that.
- Mother of Sydney Chaplin and Charles Chaplin Jr.
- Despite marrying three more times after her divorce from Charlie Chaplin, Lita kept the name "Lita Grey Chaplin" throughout her life, as she had established herself professionally under that name, with nearly a decade of work on the Radio-Keith-Orpheum vaudeville circuit starting in 1928, the public knew her by that name. Furthermore, "Lita Grey Chaplin" retained a name connection to her sons with Chaplin: Charles Chaplin, Jr. and Sydney Chaplin.
- Lita was 16 years old when she and Charles Chaplin wed; he was 35.
- Lita Grey Chaplin authorized the publication of two books: "My Life with Chaplin" (1966) and "Wife of the Life of the Party" (1998). Unhappy with the inaccuracies and distortions of the first book, Lita Grey Chaplin viewed "Wife of the Life of the Party" as the only authentic account of her life with Charlie Chaplin. "Wife of the Life of the Party" was co-written by her friend Jeffrey Vance and contained an affectionate foreword written by her son, Sydney Chaplin. The book's publication also received the support from the Chaplin family's Roy Export.
- Despite information to the contrary, she and her family were not from Mexico or of Mexican descent. Lita Grey Chaplin was of English and Scottish descent on her father's side and the scion of an illustrious Spanish family on her mother's side. Her maternal grandmother was Louisa Seymoufina Carrillo Curry, the great-granddaughter of Antonio Maria Lugo, an illustrious California land baron. The misinformation regarding Lita Grey Chaplin's family history began with her acrimonious divorce from Charlie Chaplin.
- Portrayed by Deborah Moore in Chaplin (1992).
- She has appeared in two films that have been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant: The Kid (1921) & The Gold Rush (1925).
