- Her pregnancy with her daughter was written into ALF. She would have a son on the show though.
- She had gotten all of Joyce DeWitt's lines in an episode of Three's Company (1976), titled Stanley's Hotline (1979), which aired in 1979, because Joyce had called in sick. Afterwards, Joyce praised her, calling her "one of our favorite guest stars".
- For many years, Anne Schedeen would not disclose her age.
- Lives in LA and is an antiquer and decorator; also coaches comedy actors part-time (June 2000)
- She made five guest appearances on Three's Company (1976) from 1978-1982, where her characters' names started with the letter L. The first three times, she was Jack Tripper's girlfriend Linda; the fourth time as his date Lisa; the final time as a loan officer Louise who rejects Jack's request for a loan, as well as rejecting his advances. She worked with all the regular cast members of the show, with the exception of Ann Wedgeworth, and she said it was the happiest set she had ever been.
- [In 2000, 10 years after her show ALF (1986) ended] It was the hardest job that I ever had and will probably ever have. Believe me, there was no joy on the set. It was a technical nightmare--extremely slow, hot and tedious. If you had a scene with ALF, it took centuries. A 30-minute show took 20 to 25 hours to shoot. Some of the actors in the cast had difficult personalities. The whole thing was a big, dysfunctional family.
- [In 1988, reflecting on her salad days] It was a long wait. I sold clothes, modeled clothes, was a shoe model. I played in summer stock and did a commercial. Then I got signed by a big agent. Within a month, I had a contract with Universal. I thought I'd come out here, take fencing lessons, drive a small Thunderbird and sit by the swimming pool. Instead, I was the daughter on Marcus Welby, M.D. (1969).
