🎄 Autographed/Signed Chevy Chase & Beverly D'Angelo National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 16x20 Photo — JSA COA — The Dual-Signed 16x20 Photograph Authenticated by James Spence Authentication Bearing the Signatures of Both Stars of the 1989 Comedy Classic That Has Become the Most Beloved Holiday Film in the National Lampoon's Vacation Franchise, With Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo Reprising Their Roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold in the Yuletide Adventure That Introduced "Griswold Family Christmas" as the Shorthand for Every Holiday Season That Has Ever Gone Spectacularly, Hilariously Wrong

🎄 There are Christmas movies, and then there is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Released in December 1989, directed by Jeremiah Chechik from a John Hughes screenplay, the third installment of the National Lampoon's Vacation film series went beyond what any of the previous Griswold family adventures had achieved — producing a cultural artifact so deeply embedded in the American holiday experience that entire generations have grown up quoting it, watching it annually, and measuring their own family holiday disasters against the benchmark Clark Griswold set when he tried to have a "real old-fashioned family Christmas." The film grossed over $71 million at the domestic box office and has earned many times that in the decades since through home video, cable television, and streaming.

🎄 Chevy Chase brought Clark Griswold to life across all four films in the original Vacation series — but it is in Christmas Vacation that the character reaches his fullest and most memorable expression. Clark's absolute commitment to the perfect Christmas, his catastrophic series of home-improvement disasters (the 25,000 exterior light installation, the attic insulation incident, the cat and the Christmas tree), his eventual complete breakdown in the backyard, and his delivery of one of the great comedic monologues in holiday film history made Clark Griswold a character whose specific lines are quoted every December by people who have seen the film dozens of times and still find the same moments equally funny. Beverly D'Angelo as Ellen — the calm, patient, perpetually exasperated wife who loves Clark despite and because of his enormous ambitions and equally enormous failures — provided the counterpoint that made the character dynamics work.

🎄 Both Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo have signed this 16x20 photograph, making it a dual-autograph piece that brings together both leads of the most quotable Christmas movie in American culture. Authentication is by James Spence Authentication (JSA) with a Certificate of Authenticity included. Condition: NOS.
