He was a year old before his parents were married. His parents were married to other people when he was conceived (he was given his mother's husband's surname Aylen on his birth certificate). He did not learn of his illegitimacy until he was 27 years old.
His mother's childhood nickname for him was Pierrot.
His production company, Chrislaw, was named after his son Christopher Lawford.

Never obtained a formal education; educated through tutors.
Romantically linked with actresses Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Dorothy Dandridge, June Allyson, Lee Remick, Kim Novak, Judy Holliday, Evelyn Keyes, and socialites Sharman Douglas and Melissa Weston.
Since he spent his early childhood in France, he spoke French before he spoke English. Later, he struggled to learn English.
When he was child he fell through a French door and cut his right arm very badly; consequently, he never regained full use of his right arm and hand. Thus, he was turned down as unfit for military duty and did not serve during World War II.
The producers of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? originally wanted him to play Edwin Flagg. The role would eventually go to Victor Buono.
Is portrayed by Angus Macfadyen in The Rat Pack and by Ian Buchanan in Marilyn & Bobby: Her Final Affair.
He and the other members of the Rat Pack were banned from Marilyn Monroe's funeral by Joe DiMaggio.
Was the first member of the Rat Pack to pass away. As of 2005, Joey Bishop is the only surviving member.
In his 20s, he worked at a country club. A prestigious member of the club once complained to the management that Lawford was eating lunch and fraternizing with the black employees, and that he should be fired. This member was Joseph P. Kennedy, who years later became his father-in-law!
Is portrayed by Peter Sands in Norma Jean & Marilyn.
Nephew of Ernest Lawford.
Cousin of Betty Lawford.
His ex-wife Patricia Kennedy died on 17th September 2006 from complications from pneumonia at the age of 82.
