If you’re a fan of the classic holiday movie, “Christmas Vacation,” you may be wondering what the name of Clark Griswold’s Aunt is. Well, wonder no more! We’ve got the answer for you.
First things first, let’s take a trip down memory lane and talk about Aunt Bethany. You may remember her as the sweet but slightly forgetful elderly woman that Clark and his family pick up on their way to their Christmas vacation destination. She’s the one that wraps up her cat as a present and sings the national anthem instead of “Grace” at dinner.
But Aunt Bethany isn’t Clark’s only aunt in the movie. In fact, she’s not even related to him by blood. The other aunt we’re referring to is his wife Ellen’s aunt.
So, what is her name? Drumroll please.. it’s Aunt Josephine!
While she doesn’t have as big of a role in the movie as Aunt Bethany, she does make an appearance during the family’s Christmas dinner scene. You may remember her as the one who comments on how dry and tasteless the turkey is before Uncle Lewis reveals that he has burnt down his own Christmas tree with his cigar.
Now that we’ve solved this mystery, let’s take a look at some fun facts about “Christmas Vacation” and its cast:
– The movie was released in 1989 and stars Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold. – Randy Quaid plays Cousin Eddie, who shows up uninvited in his RV and causes chaos for Clark and his family. – Beverly D’Angelo plays Ellen Griswold, Clark’s wife.
– The movie was written by John Hughes, who also wrote “Home Alone,” another holiday classic. – Despite being a popular holiday movie now, it received mixed reviews upon its initial release. – The cast reunited for a 30th anniversary screening in 2019, where they shared behind-the-scenes stories and memories from filming.
So there you have it – Aunt Josephine is the name of Clark Griswold’s other aunt in “Christmas Vacation.” Now you can impress your friends and family with this little tidbit of trivia during your next holiday gathering.
