- Dreadlocks
- Began her career by forming and working with the Negro Ensemble Company.
- Was an honor student in high school.
- Inducted into the Black Filmmakers' Hall of Fame in 1992.
- In 1968 she landed a role in the Washington D.C. production of "The Great White Hope", a play about the career of African American boxer Jack Johnson. The part was a choice one, but at the same time an even better opportunity opened up: a slot with the Negro Ensemble Company (NEC), a pioneering organization devoted to presenting plays by black writers and furthering the careers of black actors and theater personnel. Cash pulled out of the Washington production, having to turn over two weeks' salary to the theater involved, so that she could return to New York and join the NEC as one of its founding members.
- She was one of four children, the others being John, Robert and Helen. All were born and raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Brother John (1936-1998), enjoyed a long illustrious career with the United States Army as Colonel John A. Cash. He died in 1998 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
- Maybe I've handled it [my career] all wrong, but I've gotten what I wanted to get out of it. That's a sense of being true to myself. I came to a point where I said I know there are things I am not going to do for money.
- I'm not good at playing stereotypes. I don't ingratiate myself to the powers-that-be as some nice, Negro, colored, abiding person. You cannot depend on me to be that Negro that you have come to know and love, that you're used to.
- [on her love scene inLa última esperanza (1971)] It's a spooky feeling to screw Moses.
