2Along with Robert J. Anderson, she holds the distinction of appearing in two holiday classics: It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and The Bishop's Wife (1947). In the former, she plays Zuzu, the youngest daughter of George (James Stewart) and Mary (Donna Reed), while in the latter she plays Debby, the daughter of Henry (David Niven) and Julia (Loretta Young).

5Grimes makes personal appearances and delivers keynote addresses at corporate and private functions across the United States (McLeod, Mike, "Passions With... Karolyn Grimes", Heritage Magazine, Spring 2010) [March 2010]
6Interviewed in the book "A Sci-Fi Swarm and Horror Horde" (McFarland & Co., 2010) by Tom Weaver.
7She rang the Closing Bell on Wall Street in 2003.
8According to Grimes, the name "Zuzu" came from a cookie, similar to a gingersnap, that was sold in the early 1900s.
9One 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.
10Her 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.
11She still has an angel ornament from the Christmas tree in the movie It's a Wonderful Life (1946).
12In 1999, she went to Philadelphia to take part in special extravaganza. One-hundred 4th of July babies were present from 1900-1999 and she represented 1940.
