- Kennedy was cast in The Marrying Kind (1952) at the insistence of screenwriter Ruth Gordon. Director George Cukor had originally wanted Ina Claire, while Florence Bates, Dorothy Gish, and Frieda Inescort were also considered. Cukor acceded to Gordon's request and was delighted by the results.
- After Kennedy and her husband formed their own production company, they purchased the film rights to "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall." When they were unable to find appropriate backing, they sold the property to Mary Pickford.
- She was dissatisfied with her films for Samuel Goldwyn as she was exclusively cast as a comedienne and in farcical stories.
