Audrey Griswold, played by Dana Barron, was the daughter of Clark and Ellen Griswold in the 1983 classic comedy film National Lampoon’s Vacation. The movie followed the Griswold family as they embarked on a cross-country trip to reach the famous Wally World amusement park.
As the movie progressed, Audrey was shown as a typical teenage girl who was often embarrassed by her parents’ antics. However, she also had some memorable scenes of her own, such as when she had to deal with an uncomfortable situation in the backseat of the family car with her brother Rusty.
But what happened to Audrey after National Lampoon’s Vacation? Did she continue acting or pursue a different career path?
After her role in National Lampoon’s Vacation, Dana Barron continued acting but didn’t receive as much recognition as she did with her role as Audrey. Some of her notable roles included appearances in TV shows like The Love Boat and Beverly Hills 90210.
In 2003, Dana Barron reprised her role as Audrey in the made-for-TV movie National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure. While this movie wasn’t received well by critics or audiences alike, it did give fans of the original film a chance to see what happened to Audrey years later.
Aside from acting, Dana Barron has also dabbled in writing and directing. She wrote and directed a short film called “Lunch” in 2011 and has also written two novels – “Raising Blaze: A Mother and Son’s Long Strange Journey into Autism” and “The Healing Heart: Antidotes to Panic and Helplessness”.
In conclusion, while Dana Barron hasn’t achieved the same level of fame as some of her co-stars from National Lampoon’s Vacation, she has continued to work in entertainment over the years. And for fans of Audrey Griswold, the character will always be remembered as a beloved part of one of the most iconic comedies in film history.
