[1] Anne Edwards, Maria Callas: An Intimate Biography (2001): "On 2 December, four months to the day after their arrival in New York, Litza went into labour and was taken by Dr. Lantzounis to Flower Hospital on Fifth Avenue in lower New York where he was completing his residency... [Litza] would always claim that Maria was born on 4 December, and that she had endured two days of torturous labour in delivering her because of her size. However, Dr. Lantzounis recalled that the little girl, who was about to become his goddaughter, was delivered the same day he brought her mother to the hospital."
