Who Is the Girl in European Vacation?

By Alice Nichols

If you’re a fan of the National Lampoon’s Vacation series, you’re probably familiar with the 1985 film, “European Vacation.” And if you’ve seen the movie, chances are you’ve wondered: who is the girl in European Vacation? Well, wonder no more!

The girl in European Vacation is none other than Dana Hill, an American actress who had a relatively short but successful career in Hollywood. In the film, she played Audrey Griswold, the daughter of Chevy Chase’s character, Clark Griswold.

Audrey was a central character in several of the National Lampoon movies, and Dana Hill played her in both “European Vacation” and “Christmas Vacation.” However, she wasn’t always intended to play Audrey. The role was originally offered to Molly Ringwald, but she turned it down.

Dana Hill was known for her distinctive voice and her ability to play both comedic and dramatic roles. She got her start in Hollywood as a child actor and went on to appear in several popular TV shows and movies throughout the 80s.

Sadly, Dana Hill’s life was cut short when she passed away at the age of 32 due to complications from diabetes. But her legacy lives on through her memorable performances on screen.

So there you have it – now you know who the girl in European Vacation is! And next time you watch the movie (which we highly recommend), you can impress your friends with your knowledge of this little trivia fact.
