Where Are Then Now?-- "It's a Wonderful Life" Kids

From the Dec. 19-25th American Profile Magazine.

A great magazine for us regular folks.

From the Ask American Profile page.

A man from Georgia wrote to ask is any of the children from the cast went on to show business.

ANSWER: All four of the youngsters who portrayed the children of Mary and George Bailey continued their careers into film and television.

PETE, the oldest boy, was played by Larry Sims, now 76 played Baby Dumpling Alexander in more than two dozen Blondie films.

ZUZU, the baby, played by Karolyn Grimes, 70, and JANIE, the oldest girl, played by Carol Coombs, 75, worked in other movies as adolescents, but stopped acting as adults.

TOMMY, the youngest boy, played by Jimmy Hawkins, 69, co-starred in the 1950s TV series Annie Oakley and later became a producer.

"It's a Wonderful Life" is #2 on my all-time favorite Christmas movie list. They have a photo from the film of all four kids (with their names superimposed) and another picture taken recently of the four.

Now, That's Some Interesting Stuff. --Cooter
