How Old Are Rusty and Audrey in Vegas Vacation?

By Alice Nichols

If you’re a fan of the National Lampoon’s Vacation movie series, you might have wondered about the age of Rusty and Audrey in the fourth installment, Vegas Vacation. The movie follows the Griswold family as they experience hilarious misadventures during their trip to Las Vegas.

While it’s not explicitly stated in the movie, we can make an educated guess about Rusty and Audrey’s ages based on their previous appearances in Vacation movies. In the first Vacation movie, released in 1983, Rusty was played by actor Anthony Michael Hall, who was born in 1968. This would make Rusty around 15 years old at the time of filming.

In subsequent movies, Rusty was played by different actors. In European Vacation, released in 1985, Rusty was played by Jason Lively, who was born in 1968 like Hall.

In Christmas Vacation, released in 1989, Rusty was played by Johnny Galecki, who was born in 1975. This would make Rusty around 17 years old at the time of filming.

In Vegas Vacation, which was released in 1997, Ethan Embry played Rusty. Embry was born in 1978 and would have been around 19 years old at the time of filming.

As for Audrey, she was played by actress Dana Hill in European Vacation and Christmas Vacation. Hill was born in 1964 and would have been around 21 years old when she played Audrey in Christmas Vacation.

In Vegas Vacation, however, Marisol Nichols played Audrey. Nichols was born in 1973 and would have been around 24 years old at the time of filming.

So based on these ages and assumptions about when each movie took place within the timeline of the Griswold family’s lives, we can estimate that:

– In European Vacation (1985), Rusty would have been around 15 years old
– In Christmas Vacation (1989), Rusty would have been around 17 years old
– In Vegas Vacation (1997), Rusty would have been around 19 years old
– In European Vacation (1985), Audrey would have been around 21 years old
– In Christmas Vacation (1989), Audrey would have still been around 21 years old
– In Vegas Vacation (1997), Audrey would have been around 24 years old

Of course, these are just estimates and not definitive answers. But they give us a good idea of how old Rusty and Audrey were in each movie. Regardless of their ages, the Griswold family’s escapades in each Vacation movie continue to be a source of laughter and entertainment for audiences everywhere.

In conclusion, while the exact ages of Rusty and Audrey in Vegas Vacation are not explicitly stated, we can make educated guesses based on their previous appearances in Vacation movies. Using this information, we estimate that Rusty was around 19 years old and Audrey was around 24 years old during the filming of Vegas Vacation. These estimations give us a better understanding of the characters’ ages throughout the series and how they grew up alongside their misadventures.
