- Signe Hasso related her Hollywood bound journey to the USA was very difficult with the impending Nazi war actions in the early 1940's. Signe Hasso departed Sweden traveling by Siberian Railroad across Russia, into China, sailing from Singapore to San Francisco, then traveling by train to Los Angeles, where she met with RKO studio chiefs discussing film roles. Signe reported the entire trip took six months in reaching the United States because of travel restrictions, passport problems, and the unstable military undercurrent encountered because threats of the Nazi regime affected all of Asia.
- Signe's hair style remained the same blond cut and style because she wore wigs made by her wig maker friend Renata. She smoked cigarettes constantly. She maintained her weight and figure, never gaining pounds because she used her Scandinavian diet. Signe loved jewelry, usually bracelets and necklaces, painted with gold leaf paint, since she did not like the look of silver! Even painting pearl necklaces with the gold leaf paint. She was a marvelous cook entertaining friends with her Scandinavian meatball or salmon with dill specialties. At parties, late evening after midnight, she spontaneously would herd guests into the host's kitchen preparing egg specialties while relating her theatrical stories and humorous adventures. Signe had a "throaty sounding" laughter in response when told an amusing tale. She had a generous interested spiritual personality and nature. Many of her friends were members of the Hollywood Foreign Press due to her membership with the organization. Many of her newsletters and articles were printed in Swedish Newspapers. She composed both the lyrics and music for her catalog of songs, and poems. Signe published several books on numerology in Sweden. She gave an incredible numerology reading to fortunate individuals when she felt that they needed assistance in their life course. Signe often said, would she have had the opportunity, she would have become a medical doctor.
- She married German national Harry Hartnagel (aka Harry Hasso; who would later be married to fellow Swedish actress Viveca Lindfors from 1941-1943) on November 12, 1933. They couple had one child, Signe's only child, a son named Karl Georg Harry (born June 14, 1934). Karl died on January 15, 1957, aged 22, in an automobile accident in Los Angeles, California.
- Because they were both Swedish, Signe and Ingrid Bergman were "thespian friends", both actresses usually considered by casting agents and directors for the same film role. Signe's stage theatrical career evolved because she was not being cast in Hollywood films. Ingrid Bergman, envious of Hasso's acting success on stage, followed Hasso's lead by accepting theatrical stage roles. Signe always "chuckled" when ever she heard of Ingrid accepting another stage acting assignment.
- Last seen publicly at the "Night of 200 Stars" tribute to Gene Autry and Whitney Houston in New York City in 1995.
- Hasso starred in the national touring company of the musical "Cabaret" as Fräulein Schneider. Leo Fuchs played Herr Schultz. The two reportedly did not get along despite the fact they were playing an elderly couple who fall in love only to be torn apart by the rise of the Nazi Party in Weimar Germany.
- In her early Hollywood career, Signe Hasso lived above the Sunset Strip. Moving to New York where she performed with Eva Le Galliene's American Repertory Company, and also on tour with various ARC productions across the United States. Returning to Hollywood in 1957, Hasso lived at Hollywood Boulevard and Stanley Ave. in an apartment building, the rear 2nd floor 2BR apartment. Fifteen years later, moving to Park LaBrea into a two story complex, adjacent to Farmers Market.
- She was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7080 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on February 1, 1994.
