- In her debut film role, "Nothing But the Truth (1920) the press misspelled her name as Elsie Mackaye.
- She is often confused with silent film actress Poppy Wyndham, whose real name is "The Honorable Elsie Mackay" daughter of the 1st Earl of Inchcape in Scotland. They were born 6 months apart. This confusion occurred throughout both of their lives, especially since during that time period, the main form of travel to different countries was by steamship, which Lord Inchcape was an executive in the P&O company which both traveled upon. Australian born Elsie Mackay married 3 times, whereas The Honorable Elsie Mackay born in India to Scottish parents, married just once.
