- He is the first actor credited with playing the role of Sherlock Holmes, the most portrayed character in film history.
- Strongly opposed the marriage of daughter Dolores Costello to John Barrymore. Maurice knew of Barrymore's history of womanizing and heavy drinking and was strongly put off by the fact that Barrymore was closer in age to him than his daughter, and he frequently begged his daughter not to go through with it, saying that it would not last. She went against his wishes and married Barrymore anyway. Maurice was proved right when the marriage did not even last ten years.
- Father of actresses Dolores Costello and Helene Costello.
- Grandfather of John Drew Barrymore.
- [In reference to his plummeting film career] It's better to be a has-been than a never-was.
