Written by My wife and daughter talked me into accompanying them to the Seattle Woman’s show last year. While they really had fun, and I found most of it moderately interesting, there was one definite highlight for me. We ran across Karolyn Grimes, a Carnation resident who had the most famous line in the Christmas classic “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Now a youngish-seeming grandmother, she remains recognizable at Zu Zu, and she is wonderfully willing to share about making the movie. She told me her strongest memory was of Jimie Stewert carrying her down the stairs on the set of the old house. At 6′ 3″, Stewart was soooo tall, she said, and he would hold her high up near his shoulders, making her feel like she was way up in the air. She also said she remembers him being very friendly and warm to everyone.
Here is a picture she signed for us.
