IN THE SPOTLIGHT:  Karolyn Grimes (Zuzu Bailey)

Karolyn is a former child actor, author, retired medical technician, mother, grandmother, and for years the unofficial ambassador for the 1946 Frank Capra classic (and one of our favorites around the holidays) “It’s a Wonderful Life”.  With James Stewart playing her father George Bailey, Karolyn starred as Zuzu, uttering those timeless words, “Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.”  

Karolyn made 16 films between 1945 and 1952 and appeared alongside John Wayne, Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, Loretta Young, Fred MacMurray, Betty Grable, Danny Kaye and, of course, the immortal James Stewart.  At age six, she had already appeared in four films when the part of Zuzu came along. It was just another small part, but one that has made an indelible imprint on the American consciousness.  She joined us from her home in Weed, CA.
