Arnold Grimm's Daughter

After Connie Grimm eloped with Dallas Tremaine (her childhood sweetheart) her tyrannical father, Arnold, while Dal's mother ("a schemer") "disliked Connie and plotted against her". Connie found second-hand furniture and an old house in which to set up their home while artist Dal never finished the pictures that he began painting. She also provided financial support by operating a business in partnership with French lingerie dealer Madame Babette. At one point Dal took all of the money from Connie's purse and used it on a fling in Chicago. She forgave him when he returned, but he continued to brood over their poverty. Gladys Grimm was Arnold's wife. Jimmy Kent was a designer and Bill Hartley was Arnold Grimm's business partner. Judy was Connie's outspoken and sometimes funny maid. Mr. Tweedy was a lovable, good man. Sonia Kirkoff was a loyal friend to Connie. As the series progressed, Connie became pregnant. Before Little Dal was born, Dal died while saving a child from being hit by a fire engine. After her husband's death, Connie's attention turned to helping her father and his struggling business. ==Cast==
