Legacy
Two children were born of the Brice-Arnstein marriage. Daughter Frances (1919–1992) married Ray Stark, while son William (1921–2008) became an artist of note, using his mother's surname.
The Stony Brook campus of the State University of New York (SUNY at Stony Brook) formerly had a Fannie Brice Theatre, a small 75-seat venue which has been used for a variety of performances over the years, including a 1988 production of the musical Hair, staged readings, and a studio classroom space. The building was razed in 2007 to make way for new dormitories.
Mexican comedienne Maria Elena Saldana was influenced by Brice, and would create a character similar to Brice's Baby Snooks, La Guereja.
In 2006 Brice was featured in the film Making Trouble, a tribute to female Jewish comedians, produced by the Jewish Women’s Archive.
