From the Dec. 23, 2012, Parade Magazine Personality Page.
The question was whatever happened to the actress who played Zuzu Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life?"
Karolyn Grimes who uttered the line, "Teacher says every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings," at the end of the Frank Capra classic, calls herself an "unofficial ambassador" for the movie. "I managed to turn six minutes of film footage into a second career, doing appearances year-round at festivals and gift shows," says Grimes, 72.
She also appeared in fifteen other films, including "Rio Grande." But, it is for Zuzu that she receives fan mail. Writer Clifford Odets borrowed the name from Zu Zu Ginger Snaps.
