* CompositeCharacter: The plot point of Nan having to be hidden away until the election is over to avoid a political scandal happened in real life with ''another'' of Harding's mistresses, Carrie Phillips. Unlike Britton, Phillips was controversial for her vocal support of Germany during UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, and deliberately [[RefugeInAudacity blackmailed the Republican Party]] to get an all-expenses-paid vacation in East Asia while her ex-lover was campaigning for election. Phillips is only indirectly referenced in the show in the episode "Hold Me in Paradise", when Daugherty says that Harding has countless mistresses and that one is even trying to extort him.

* TakeThatAudience: Lucy is often considered TheScrappy by the fandom, who extend their revilement to the actress behind her. Thus, the scene where she rehearses a monologue from the play of the same name in "A Dangerous Maid" while staring at the camera (standing for a mirror) can only be taken as an open comment by Paz de la Huerta that yes, she can act. To ice the cake, the character in the play is also a former showgirl, like Lucy, and the monologue in question is about how she knows that people talk bad about her behind her back and how she is better than other people think.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter
* HollywoodHistory: Zig-zagged. When ''Boardwalk Empire'' was made, most historians thought Harding could not be the father of Britton's daughter in RealLife and that their affair probably existed only in Britton's head. Nevertheless, the show portrayed it as real for the sake of drama. However, in 2015, it turned out that the show going for drama was absolutely accurate. A DNA test has proven that Harding and Britton's affair was indeed reality and he did indeed father Britton's child.
