- Her mother, Meryl Streep, was pregnant with Mamie when she accepted her Best Actress Oscar for Sophie's Choice (1982) in 1983.
- Mamie is a 2005 graduate of Northwestern University's School of Communications.
- Married Benjamin Walker at her parents' home in Connecticut before 150 guests, wearing her maternal grandmother's wedding gown. Her guests included Claire Danes, Laura Linney and Tracey Ullman, and her two sisters Grace Gummer and Louisa Gummer were her bridesmaids.
- All the women that are first born daughters in my family are named Mary, but we've all been given nicknames. I don't know how or why that started, but I'm nicknamed after my great-grandmother, who was Mamie. No one ever calls me Mary, except only if my husband is very serious about something.
- I watched a lot of old television growing up - a lot of Nick at Nite. I watched 'Rhoda', 'Mary Tyler Moore', and 'I Love Lucy.' Growing up, I loved 'My So Called Life' and was devastated when that went off the air.
- My first day on the set of 'John Adams', I was just supposed to fly to Virginia for a costume fitting. But the director figured, why not shoot it, too? So they threw me into a dress that didn't fit, gave me lines I hadn't seen, in a dialect I didn't know, and two screaming, arching infants.
- I'd like to learn how to cook. I've hauled around this big, old, heavy Martha Stewart cookbook in my suitcase to Cape Cod, L.A., Paris. I don't know what possessed me.
