- In the pilot episode Blanche's last name is Hollingsworth, not Devereaux. It is revealed later that Blanche's maiden name was Hollingsworth, her married name was Devereaux.
- It was not originally in the script for Blanche to have a Southern accent, Rue McClanahan was told to speak with her original Alabama accent. Rue thought the accent was unappealing, and wanted Blanche to be over-the-top Southern.
- In the episode "Wham, Bam, Thank You Mammy", Blanche's full name is revealed to be "Blanche Marie Hollingsworth", but in a later episode she says her full name is "Blanche Elizabeth Devereaux", making her initials B.E.D.
- Though it is widely believed that Blanche's age is never actually revealed, in an episode called "Mother's Day", it is shown in a flashback that Blanche was 17 in 1949. That would make her 53 years old when the series began in 1985 and 60 when it ended in 1992.However, if you asked Blanche I'm sure she'd tell you she was 29.
- Blanche's name was taken from Blanche DuBois, another timeless Southern Belle from "A Streetcar Named Desire"
