This article has a number of inaccuracies and omissions, especially when it comes to the subject of albums. The article is basically a brief re-write of Anita's autobiography and other web postings. A full re-write by a qualified jazz historian would be in order. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.117.141.57 (talk) 14:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Redacted Quote
Removed an unsourced quote as I just watched an interview in which she makes the admission, with some circumspection. Also what she was unaware of was the back stage filming not that on stage as there were many present filming the festival. 72.228.150.44 (talk) 11:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Marriage, Don Carter
I have removed a misleading link to a disambiguation page for drummer Don Carter. There is no article for a musician named Don Carter (whom the article cites as marrying O'Day). The people for whom there are Don Carter articles are people with careers other than musician. Further of interest is how long their marriage lasted.Dogru144 (talk) 01:08, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Request for photo
There was a help desk request for a photo of when she was younger. Is that possible?— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  22:43, 22 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree...Anita was a gorgeous woman and readers should be aware of this.It's rude and inconsiderate not to have younger photo of her. Please make amends!
