Anita O'Day
Anita O'Day, född Anita Belle Colton 18 oktober 1919 i Chicago, Illinois, död 23 november 2006 i West Hollywood, Los Angeles, Kalifornien, var en amerikansk jazzsångerska som hade sin storhetstid på 1940- och 1950-talen.
O'Day slog igenom tillsammans med Gene Krupas Orkester med låten "Let Me Off Uptown". Under 50-talet arbetade hon i större utsträckning som solist och hon medverkade bland annat i filmen Jazz on a Summer's Day som spelades in på Newportfestivalen 1958.
