| 2 | Was a registered Republican. |
| 3 | Appeared as a contestant on a 1961 episode of the Groucho Marx TV series "You Bet Your Life". |
| 4 | Her husband, Leroy Moore, was a professional chef. |
| 5 | Louise was only a year older than actress Fredi Washington, who played her daughter in Imitation of Life (1934). |
| 6 | Louise died of a heart attack in Hollywood, California on October 26, 1962, exactly a decade to the day as her famed counterpart Hattie McDaniel. |
| 7 | A member of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority, one of four African-American sororities at the time. |
| 8 | Playing cooks for most her career, in real life Louise detested cooking. |
| 9 | In 1976 she, along with Josephine Baker and Canada Lee were posthumously inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame. |
| 10 | The studio forced her to eat extra servings of food so she could play the "black mammy" roles that were available to actresses of color at the time. |
| 11 | Despite the fact that she was given fourth billing in Imitation of Life (1934), her role was nearly equal in importance to Claudette Colbert's, and was the first instance of a Hollywood film in which a black woman's maternal problems were given equal importance to those of the leading white character in a film. |
| 12 | Before becoming an actress, Beavers was the maid for actress Leatrice Joy. |
| 13 | African-American screen, television, and minstrel actress. |
