What happens in casting doesn't stay in casting: Vegas Vacation star Marisol Nichols reveals she replaced Brittany Murphy as the fourth actress to play Audrey Griswold. In her first film role, Nichols portrayed the thrice-recast role of Audrey after Dana Barron (National Lampoon's Vacation, TV movie Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure), Dana Hill (National Lampoon's European Vacation), and Juliette Lewis (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation). The 1997 sequel sees the Griswold clan — gambling family man Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), matriarch Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), and teenaged children Audrey and Rusty (Ethan Embry) — roll the dice on a fabulous family vacation to Las Vegas, Nevada.
