Karolyn Grimes Facts
Her Hollywood career ended with her parents' deaths when she was a teen. She was sent to live with her aunt. She eventually became a medical technician.
One of her most vivid memories of filming "It's a Wonderful Life" was the large Christmas tree in the Bailey house. Grimes' own family had a two-foot-tall tree that stood on a table. She enjoyed the snow on the set, even thought it was artificial, because she had never seen real snow.
According to Grimes, the name "Zuzu" came from a cookie, similar to a gingersnap, that was sold in the early 1900s.
