- A couple of years after directing his last feature film, The Destructors (1974) Parrish published his autobiography, "Growing Up In Hollywood", which largely avoids mention of his directing career. The book was a big best-seller and was critically acclaimed, one British critic going so far as to say that it was so well-written, "one wonders if he hasn't been in the wrong business all along.".
- Brother of actresses Beverly Parrish, Helen Parrish, and actor Gordon Parrish.
- He was the first director attached to Days of Wine and Roses (1962), but Blake Edwards replaced him.
- Son of actress Laura R. Parrish.
