* WhatMightHaveBeen: In the early 1970s, she was supposed to have the lead in a film adaptation of ''Literature/TheBlueLagoon'' that was going to be produced by Ray Stark for Creator/ColumbiaPictures. Due to production delays, the project did not begin until the fall of 1978, and by that time, Hayden was considered "too old" for the role. The finished movie would eventually star Creator/BrookeShields and was only released in [[Film/TheBlueLagoon1980 1980]].

* TheDanza: On several occasions she'd play characters who shared her given name.
* MsFanservice: She was a very beautiful woman, and often got naked on screen during her heyday. Even now, she still looks pretty good for her age.
