The Jon DiVito Show

Papa Jon’s Podcast broadcasts all over the world. I am based in Massachusetts. We talk about politics, sports, entertainment, humor, and everything else you can imagine. We have investigated the Pamela Smart murder case. We interviewed key members of her family and well-known media members. This includes Diane Dimond from Entertainment Tonight. We have also exposed sexual, physical, and emotional abuse at several boarding schools in the Midwest. We are a hard-hitting podcast that will take on ANYTHING!

We had an AMAZING interview with Karolyn Grimes. She was best known for playing George Bailey’s youngest daughter (Zu Zu) in the iconic Christmas classic “It’s A Wonderful Life”

This film was directed by Frank Capra and starred Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, and Lionel Barrymore. We heard amazing real-life stories about Jimmy Stewart, Lionel Barrymore, and other Hollywood legends. She talked about her memories of being on set. She even repeated her iconic line for us “Teacher says, every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings”

She talked about some of the other films she appeared in. She told stories about spending time with Cary Grant. She was also in films with John Wayne and Bing Crosby. She gave us an inside look into the golden era of Hollywood. This was an absolutely incredible interview. Her career was cut short at the age of 15. She lost both of her parents in the span of a few years. She moved to Missouri to live with relatives. That ended her very promising film career.

She was 6 years old when the film was released in 1946. She is one of the last remaining cast members of “It’s A Wonderful Life.”

She still makes public appearances and has a website where you can buy signed memorabilia. Her website is zuzu.net

“It’s a Wonderful Life” influenced my life and IMO is the best Christmas film of all time. It was also ranked in the top 100 films of all time. Karolyn is such a kind woman. Enjoy this touching interview.
