Cousin Vicki is a little minx. The teenage girl is good at French-kissing ("Daddy says I'm the best at it.") and she keeps a shoebox of weed under her bed. She is everything you hope your adolescent daughter doesn't turn out to be. Playing Vicki was a young actress named Jane Krakowski, making her motion picture debut. Krakowski not only ran with t...
Miriam Flynn is an accomplished actress with more than 130 screen credits to her name. In Vacation, she was cast as Cousin Catherine, the only semi-normal one in a family of what could politely be described as "white trash." Her husband is a freeloading bum, her daughter is a burgeoning floosie, and her son is a little pervert. But that doesn't sto...
Randy Quaid is so good playing odd characters that it probably shouldn't be a surprise that he's apparently pretty odd in real life, too. As the tactless Cousin Eddie -- who got laid off "when they closed that asbestos factory" -- Quaid brings surprising depth to a character that is intentionally designed to be a stereotype. Eddie is a mirror image...
John Navin came to Vacation with a few small credits. He had a supporting role in 1981's Taps, opposite George C. Scott, Sean Penn, and an up-and-coming actor named Tom Cruise. He'd also done episodes of Cheers and The Facts of Life. His role as Cousin Dale, the surly tween who mistakes the video game Asteroids with hemorrhoids and possesses a pile...
One of the best and most memorable elements of Vacation is the station wagon Clark buys for the trip, which he dubs "the Griswold Family Truckster." The vehicle is, quite frankly, a piece of garbage, sold to him by a sleazier-than-sleazy car salesman played by Eugene Levy. A veteran of the famed Canadian sketch comedy series SCTV as well as the leg...
Brian Doyle-Murray is not the household name that his brother Bill is, but he has his own impressive comedy credentials, starting with the fact that he co-wrote another '80s classic, Caddyshack. For Vacation, he took on the role of the watermelon-chomping clerk at Kamp Komfort, a dump of a campground where the Griswolds spend a night. His character...
Not many things can get a happily-married suburban family man to turn his head, but a hot girl in a hot car is one of them. While on the road, Clark flirts -- and later has a poolside meet-up -- with the Ferrari-driving Christie Brinkley. It's one of the movie's sharpest satiric ideas, mocking the fact that, even when in a loving marriage, many men...
Legendary comedienne Imogene Coca was cast as poor Aunt Edna, who endlessly harasses Clark and passes away somewhere near Flagstaff. Coca hit the big time back in the 1950s as a cast member on the influential Your Show of Shows -- a program that was a precursor to SCTV and Saturday Night Live and an influencer of generations of comic actors. Coca d...
Dana Barron was 16 when she played Audrey Griswold. The actress started doing TV commercials a few years prior and co-starred with the young Tom Hanks in the 1980 slasher flick He Knows You're Alone. Barron gets one of Vacation's most memorable lines when, after the Truckster goes airborne and then violently crashes to the ground, Audrey blurts out...
You can literally see Anthony Michael Hall grow over the span of Vacation. Because the ending was reshot months after production wrapped, Rusty is suddenly several inches taller than his mother by the time the family finally makes it Walley World. If you never noticed that, don't feel bad. Hall is so good playing the teen boy who looks up to his da...
Jessie Prescott is the titular main protagonist of Jessie. She's sweet, caring, smart, friendly, and polite who can say silly things at times, but she still cares about her charges. Jessie doesn't make sense sometimes but is still a fun person to be around.
