Is a member of Mensa.

Posed for Playboy magazine in 1993. In an article accompanying the pictorial, she gave a now infamous interview about her ex-husband Tom Cruise in which she claimed he was contemplating becoming a monk. Rogers was quoted as saying that "At least for that period of time, it looked as though marriage wouldn't fit into his overall spiritual need. And he thought he had to be celibate to maintain the purity of his instrument. ... My instrument needed tuning." She later retracted the comments and claimed she had been misinterpreted.

Shared an apartment with Kirstie Alley while they were first starting out.

Even after having kids together, Mimi was hesitant about marrying Chris Ciaffa because she'd already been divorced twice and didn't want to jinx it. 13 years into their relationship, the couple finally tied the knot. During an appearance on Craig Kilborn's show, Mimi joked that the marriage was just so they'd be eligible for a country club membership.

Her father's family is Ashkenazi Jewish (from Poland).

Has said that The Rapture (1991) is the movie she's most proud of, because she was able to show the fullest extent of her acting capabilities. She also has a particular fondness for Bulletproof Heart (1994). When a reporter on the red carpet asked Mimi's daughter Lucy to name her favorite of her mom's films, she said The Door in the Floor (2004) (where Mimi only had a supporting role but did full frontal nudity). Mimi, standing next to her, seemed shocked at Lucy's answer.

Screen-tested for the lead role of the femme fatale in Body Heat (1981) but lost out to Kathleen Turner.

Son and daughter dropped "Rogers" from their surname and just go by Ciaffa now. Mimi's decision to give them a hyphenated surname in the first place was puzzling, since Rogers is not her maiden name.
