- The house is at 2640 Steiner Street; stories say Williams walked through San Francisco as Mrs. Doubtfire, including buying sex toys at a sex shop to see what he could get away with; 30 minutes of deleted scenes with the nosy neighbor were cut.
- A prosthetic mask was a prop; the real makeup was eight separate pieces taking four to five hours; the character drew on Williams's real British childhood nanny, Lolly.
- How many times the word deer (dear) is said in this movie: 29 times, 38 and 101 are offered.
- Sally Field was going through a divorce while filming, and Williams later divorced his wife to marry the nanny.
- Lisa Jacob, who played the oldest daughter, took five months off her Toronto school and was expelled; Williams wrote asking them to reverse it, and they framed the letter instead.
