It was about this time that It's a Wonderful Life experienced a revival in popularity. Karolyn began to receive opportunities to make appearances. As she traveled the country, her husband was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. Once again her tragedy-prone life proved anything but wonderful. He died within six months. But Karolyn found the spiritual strength to accept what God had allowed and to invest her heartache in the lives of the fans that wrote to share their sorrows with her.

These days, she maintains a website (www.zuzu.net) and reads e-mails from everyone who writes to her, especially those who have lost a mate or a child to suicide like she has.

"The most important message in It's a Wonderful Life is how one life touches another," the 67-year-old says with a smile. "The Lord has redeemed the sorrow in my life by allowing me to empathize with others. God offers hope to what seems like a hopeless situation. I believe that because I've experienced it over and over again."
