message: This article says she "found work" in vaudeville in the 1940's.  Where was that?  Vaudeville was long dead by the 1940's. (per the Wikipedia article on same)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.152.107.173 (talk) 06:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I assumed that "sue" represents the way I pronounce that word, like "soo".  If it means a British-style "sue", the IPA transcription needs a "j" before the "u". —JerryFriedman  (Talk) 02:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Zasu's gravestone states her birth year was 1900. I would think her family would know what year she was born! 
All contemporary articles I have found also states she was 63 years old when she died, and as she died in 1963, 1900 would be her correct year of birth. IMDB and Find-a-Grave are NOT reliable sources! 
Could someone please change Zasu's year of birth in this article?--Nentinel (talk) 01:03, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

text: However, gravestones can be wrong and often are: Joan Crawford (1908 says grave; 1905 say records), Irene Dunne (1901 says grave; 1898 say records), Peter Finch (grave says 1912; all written evidence indicates 1916) and Bing Crosby (grave says 1904; everyone else says 1903) are cases in point. I would never have thought Zasu was born as late as 1900. I think actual records need to be sourced for this. Crisso (talk) 18:13, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The listed filmography for ZaSu Pitts fails to mention that she starred in "Sing And Like It" in 1934.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.55.227.45 (talk) 23:29, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

message: This portion needs to be re written. 
"Her childhood home at 208 Lincoln Street still stands, although it is known now to be a home for vagrants and social miscreants who can not conform to society productivity. And are known to mistreat vehicles and purposely ding then to fit in with neighbor vehicles to not attract attention. "
These two sentences are off topic, untrue, and misspelled.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.235.67.218 (talk) 05:45, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I rv :Category:American Roman Catholics as unsourced. I will be glad to restore it if anyone can provide a source, outside the fact that she was buried in a Catholic cemetery, which is simply insufficiently dispositive and would constitute WP:SYNTHESIS. Maybe something in the "authorized biography". Quis separabit? 03:34, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Writing that Ms. Pitts had audiences "rolling in the aisles" is pretty far from being objective.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.115.152 (talk) 18:08, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: A very good point.  Several of these comments are "points well taken."  Most would be acceptable if supported by notable refs, but years later, in some cases decades later, the corrections have not been made.  I am cautiously changing some things.  If there are still editors watching this page/article, speak up.  Express an opinion.  I am no expert on ZaSu Pitts, but I can fix some of this.  rags (talk) 15:11, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
