Grimes is best known for her famous line, "every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings." ZuZu Bailey won the hearts of millions in the classic 1946 film, It's A Wonderful Life. Grimes appeared in 16 movies including The Bishop's Wife, Rio Grande, Blue Skies and Hans Christian Anderson, and has worked with film legends such as John Wayne, Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, Loretta Young, Fred Mac Murray, Betty Grable, Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart.

She will provide inspiration through sharing the stories of her own personal struggles with much adversity in her own life. Grimes has become a national and international ambassador for the film.
Grimes will speak about her life growing up as a child actor and her role in It's A Wonderful Life. She will also show clips from the movie and share moments from the film and memories of behind the scenes experiences with Jimmy Stewart and other cast members.

The event will be hosted by Cornwall Manor, and all proceeds from the event will go toward the retirement community's "Future Fund" for the construction of its new skilled nursing facility. The overall event sponsors are Jeanne and Ed Arnold.
