Jeanine Ann Roose, Played Little Violet in 'It's a Wonderful Life' Dead at 84



The little girl in the movie "It's a wonderful life" has died. The website has confirmed.

Jeanine passed away on New Year's Eve after a long battle with an illness. We're told it wasn't related to COVID.

Jeanine played a character called LittleViolet in the film. She once said that it was an amazing lifetime experience to have been in a movie like "It's A Wonderful Life."

That was all that was left. Jeanine decided not to become a performing arts major when she was at UCLA. She wanted to go into a career that helped others and thought about nursing, but decided instead to become a psychologist.

She saw a connection between her career choice and "Wonderful Life" and she wanted to help others who were struggling with finding meaning in their life.

Jeanine appeared as Little Alice Harris on "The Jack Benny Show" when she was 8.

Eugene Richard Auger married Jeanine in 1964. She was surrounded by her family when she died.

Jeanine passed away at the age of 84. I am sad.
