- RelativesRafaela Maria de la Huerta(Sibling)
- Combat boots and leopard skirt
- Was born with a recurring cystic hygroma on her right side that grows back and needs to be removed again every few years. As of 2010, she has had seven surgeries for it since birth.
- She said in an interview with Vanity Fair that Harvey Weinstein raped her on two separate occasions in 2010, once after demanding to enter her apartment and have a drink, and once showing up after she had been subjected to repeated phone calls and had been drinking. De la Huerta came forward to police in 2017, within the New York state statute of limitations for rape in the first degree, and the New York District Attorney's Office is considering bringing charges against Weinstein.
- Was raised in Soho in the 1980s in an apartment beneath that of hard-partying art dealer Larry Gagosian, whose hot tub often leaked into her family's place.
- Her name (Paz de la Huerta) literally means "Peace of the Orchard" in Spanish.
- Has a sister, Rafaela (Rafa) born in 1982. Father lives on a ranch in Spain, mother works for the US, helping with birth control in third-world countries.
- [on advice that she should avoid playing nude scenes] That's good advice, but I'm telling you, typecasting is typecasting. And I mean, look at Charlotte Rampling. She's a brilliant actress, and she's still getting naked for films. If I look like that at her age, I'll flaunt it.
- Women have said the most malicious, disgusting things about me. But I know that when somebody comments about you, good or bad, it is 99 percent of the time their projection of how they feel about themselves. Even my own sister treats me worse than somebody would treat a rat. She actually likes rats, so worse than that.
