- 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".
- The family name was originally Sjodin but got changed somewhere on the journey from Sweden. Her first agent wanted to change it again, but she turned him down, because she thought her whole family would have fun to see the name Schedeen in the credits.
- She has acted in many pilot shows that never even aired before getting a regular job on ALF (1986).
- For many years, Anne Schedeen would not disclose her age.
- [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).
