From the Freeway to the Pool: A Memorable Scene
Let’s rewind to 1983 when Christie and Chevy first dazzled us in the original National Lampoon’s Vacation. Remember that unforgettable scene where Christie pulls up in a Ferrari while Chevy’s character, Clark Griswold, is cruising on the freeway? Pure gold, right? And let’s not forget the iconic skinny-dipping scene that had everyone talking for years. These moments were nothing short of legendary.
Why Christie Passed on the Sequel
Fast forward a few years, and Christie was offered a role in the sequel, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. But guess what? She decided not to take it. Why, you ask? Well, it was her dad who gave her some sage advice. He said, “Gee, I would hate to see you get typecast in that kind of ingenue role. You have so much more depth. I don’t think you should do it.” And Christie, being the thoughtful person she is, respected her dad’s opinion and opted out. “OK, Dad,” she said, and that was that.
Looking back, Christie admitted that maybe she should’ve taken the role. “Of course I should’ve [done it] because it’s so much fun to hang around with comedians,” she shared. “I mean, I love nothing more than to make people laugh.” And who doesn’t love a good laugh, right?
Back in Action: A Cameo in Vegas Vacation
Christie didn’t completely say goodbye to the Griswold family. She made a brief cameo in 1997’s Vegas Vacation, reprising her role as the “Girl in the Ferrari.” It was a small role, but it was enough to keep the fans smiling.
The cast reunited once again in December 2022, this time sporting matching Christmas sweaters. Christie, Chevy, and Vacation costar Beverly D’Angelo posed for a series of photos on Instagram that had everyone buzzing. Christie captioned the post, “These Three Amigos are going to need a Christmas Vacation after @steelcitycomiccon 😜Were back again today and I’m in the mood for some fun! I just love you two @officialbeverlydangelo and @chevychase.” Can you feel the holiday cheer yet?
Behind the Scenes with Christie
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Vacation in 2023, Dana Barron, who played the original Audrey Griswold, shared some fun memories of working with Christie. “Christie was what they called the ‘Weather Girl’ because she came on set and hung out with us, and we didn’t know if she would be filming that day because it depended on the weather,” Dana told Hollywood Life in July 2023. “Her scene was basically first in the bar restaurant and then eventually in the pool. So she was waiting because if there was gonna be a rain problem, she could just be with us.”

“[Christie] had a great time just hanging out and shopping all day long,” Dana added. “And I had fun hanging out with her by the pool and eventually I went to her house in Malibu when we went back to California to film. So we all really bonded on this trip.” Sounds like they had a blast, doesn’t it?
