- Would always say that she wanted to die with a glass of gin in her hand. In 1998 after moving into old actor's home Denville Hall this is exactly what happened: Miss Marsden collapsed in the bar whilst smoking a cigarette and drinking a G&T.
- For many years she, her family and dogs lived on the Thames on an 80-foot converted coal barge (named 'Chilham') "just like Noah's Ark". It was a stylish houseboat; the eight rooms were centrally heated and there was room at table for 14. She particularly loved the Turneresque sunsets over the water.
- Was married to Dr James Wilson Muggoch, a consultant anaesthetist, who predeceased her; they had a son and a daughter.
- Met Charles Hawtrey when he played the piano for her to dance to during her audition at London's Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.
