...interned in the video department at Gawker Media, working on the Gawker, Jezebel, Defamer, and other videos you watch to procrastinate.

Anita O'Day, 87, edgy vocalist of the '40s and '50s, dubbed the Jezebel of Jazz for her ability to scat new energy into old standards and for her long struggle with drug addiction, for which she served jail time; in Los Angeles. Born Anita Colton (O'Day was pig Latin for dough-"what I hoped to make," she said), she brought early hits to bandleaders Gene Krupa (Let Me Off Uptown) and Stan Kenton (And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine) and cemented her hipster reputation by performing in low-key jackets and skirts instead of gowns...
