- Father of Catherine Spaak and Agnès Spaak. Grandfather of Sabrina Capucci and Gabriele Guidi (Catherine's children).
- Brother of the Belgian secretary of exterior.
- Member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1953.
- Abandoned his studies in law to work as secretary to Jacques Feyder in Paris.
- His father, Paul, was director of the de la Monnaie Theatre in Brussels. His brother, Paul-Henri, was a Premier of Belgium.
- [on Erich von Stroheim] I believe that he was a man profoundly wounded, profoundly abused, who stubbornly insisted on acting, to offer an image of himself, an image which producers could purchase and for which he had the greatest contempt. In his personal life, he was a megalomaniac.
