The Commonwealth Beat with Laura LeBeau - Episode 99 - 11/30/2025

          Nearly eight decades after its theatrical release, "It's a Wonderful Life" is even more popular now than it ever was when it debuted in theatres in 1946. And its given one of the only cast members still alive a chance to spread its simple message of gratitude to thousands of people across this country.  
          85-Year old Karolyn Grimes is the child actress who portrayed Zuzu Bailey in the film.  Nowadays, she travels to Christmas shows across the country with a collection of knick knacks and other "It's a Wonderful Life" items, taking pictures, signing autographs, and mostly, modeling a life filled with love, compassion and gratitude, just like her on-screen father, George Bailey.  And she's coming to Harrisburg next weekend for the Pennsylvania Christmas and Gift Show at the PA Farm Show Complex.
