Anthony Michael Hall, known for his role in “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” recently revealed an amusing anecdote from his time on set. Hall confessed that he once attempted to sneak a peek at his co-star Beverly D’Angelo’s breasts while they were filming. This revelation came to light during a mini movie reunion at Fan Expo Chicago, where Hall, D’Angelo, Christie Brinkley, Randy Quaid, and Dana Barron chose to avoid discussing the film specifically due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
D’Angelo, addressing her nude scenes in the film, mentioned that she often hears from fans who claim that she was their first exposure to nudity. Brinkley chimed in, sharing that someone had recently approached her booth and expressed their admiration for her performance in the naked scenes.
During the reunion, Barron playfully brought up a time when Hall got “busted” trying to catch a glimpse of D’Angelo while she was filming a shower scene. Hall interrupted, eager to share his side of the story. He confessed that he had indeed been caught attempting to sneak onto the set during the filming of D’Angelo’s scene.
“National Lampoon’s Vacation” featured an ensemble cast, including Chevy Chase and D’Angelo as Clark and Ellen Griswold, respectively. The film, directed by Harold Ramis and written by John Hughes, also starred Hall, Barron, Quaid, and John Candy, with Brinkley making a memorable appearance as “The Girl in the Ferrari.” The Griswold family embarked on a cross-country road trip to the Walley World theme park, which set the stage for a series of comedic adventures.
The franchise continued with a European vacation in the sequel and returned to Chicago for the beloved holiday classic, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.”
D’Angelo has previously discussed the chemistry between her and Chase, emphasizing how it contributed to the development of their characters’ dynamic. According to her, their real-life connection and comfort with each other made it easy to slip into the roles of Ellen and Clark Griswold, who were born out of the chemistry that D’Angelo and Chase shared. She speculated that their shared suburban upbringing might have contributed to their natural synergy.
Reflecting on their time filming “European Vacation,” D’Angelo humorously recounted how she became known as the “Chevy whisperer.” Due to Chase’s unpredictable nature, nobody wanted to issue commands to him on set. It created a unique dynamic where no one knew how he would respond to instructions.
To conclude the reunion, D’Angelo jokingly shared her role as the designated Chevy handler, navigating the unpredictability that came with working alongside Chevy Chase.
As for the rest of the cast, they were also present at the reunion, reminiscing about the film that brought them together and the cherished memories they created.
