Where Are They Now?
‘Tis The Season Of the Griswolds: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation—Where Are They Now?
Decades after the Griswold celebrated Christmas in the 1989 holiday hit National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, audiences around the world still enjoy (and relate to) the family's tortured enthusiasm for the holidays. Christmas Vacation's gags and perfectly-timed punchlines make it an American classic that really does just keep on giving. While the memorable characters are forever frozen in time (along with daughter Audrey's eyeballs and lower limbs), Snakkle finds out what happened to the actors who played them so well.

Beverly D’Angelo as Ellen Griswold in 1989
In this holiday installment of the Griswold family movies, Ellen returns as the levelheaded voice of reason. As always, she’s less than impressed with her husband’s efforts to create the perfect family memory. “Clark! Slow down! I don’t want to spend the holidays dead!” she complains after they hop in the car to look for the perfect Christmas tree. Later she sums up the whole experience as best she can: “I don’t know what to say, except, it’s Christmas and we’re all in misery.”
