Do You Remember Every Rusty and Audrey From the National Lampoon Movies?

Updated on Sep 23, 2014 at 10:00 AM

National Lampoon is coming back into the spotlight with the franchise's reboot of Vacation, which made waves for its casting of a new Rusty and Audrey Griswold. In the next update, Ed Helms and Leslie Mann are portraying the grown-up siblings, carrying on a National Lampoon tradition of always recasting the Griswold kids, while parents Clark and Ellen (Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo) stayed the same. There have been so many, and you've probably forgotten some of the famous faces that portrayed them. Let's stroll down Griswold memory lane, shall we?

Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron, Vacation (1983)

Here's the original Rusty and Audrey in the first of National Lampoon's movies about the Griswold family. Eighties movie standby Anthony Michael Hall played Rusty before going on to star in Sixteen Candles and other John Hughes classics, while his onscreen sister, Dana Barron, doesn't have quite as memorable a career. But do you remember her as one of Brandon Walsh's love interests on Beverly Hills, 90210?

Jason Lively and Dana Hill, European Vacation (1985)

Jason Lively was the next to play Rusty, and though he didn't do a lot after European Vacation, you probably recognize his last name — he's Blake Lively's brother. Dana Hill, meanwhile, went on to do voice-over film work, and sadly, passed away in 1996.

Juliette Lewis and Johnny Galecki, Christmas Vacation (1989)

Yes, that's Juliette Lewis before she grew up and became a Natural Born Killer, and Johnny Galecki way, way before Roseanne and The Big Bang Theory.

Marisol Nichols and Ethan Embry, Vegas Vacation (1997)

The National Lampoon movies took a bit of a break before they came back in the late '90s with this installment, which had an older set of siblings. This time, Audrey was played by Marisol Nichols, who'd go on to star on 24, and Ethan Embry, post-Empire Records and That Thing You Do!
