Christie played the sexy girl driving a red Ferrari.
She was driving the clumsy Chevy dad. Clark Griswold swerved off the road when she winked at him from her sports car.
His wife Ellen, played by Beverly D’Angelo, was asleep.
Christie was later seen at a hotel pool when Clark’s Chevy car crashed into her and he decided to join her, angering his wife.
Although Christie did not have a very prominent role, it was unforgettable and to this day is recognized as one of the comedy’s highlights.
In February, Brinkley celebrated her 70th birthday.
‘This is your 70th year and you have nothing to fear, because you can make this your favorite year!’ the SI model wrote in her caption.
‘It’s up to you, it’s in your power. Choose to celebrate instead of cowering. You know what to do: exercise and eat well, wear sunscreen and don’t sit under overhead lights.
‘Be curious, explore and have adventures, but don’t forget to wear your dentures. Seriously, laugh and love with all your might… and I promise you’ll be fine by 70.’

His children wished him a happy birthday on social media.
The mermaid has three children with three different men: Alexa Ray Joel with Billy Joel, Jack Paris Brinkley Cook with Richard Taubman, and Sailor Brinkley Cook with Peter Cook.
The sailor shared: ‘HAPPY SEXY 70TH, MOM!’
Alexa then said, ‘Happy birthday to this ever beautiful, pure, precious mother of mine… who always feels like home to me. I’ve got a song in the works for you, Mom… here are the lyrics: ‘Christie Lee, Christie Lee / You’re the starry-eyed girl that everybody wants to see / Bright sweetness laid in rows of sunflower hair.—Mother O’ Mine, By Me.’
Last week, the Vacation actress opened up about how she’s been able to maintain her youthful appearance all these decades after rising to fame in the ’70s.

The beauty chatted with Peoplesaying that she’s okay with having a few lines here and there, and also admitting that she’s tried Botox in the past, but doesn’t like doing too much to her face.
The magazine also focuses on looking fabulous and letting oneself age naturally. “I want to embrace certain wrinkles. That’s how I deal with ageing,” said the former Vogue cover girl.
“Sometimes when people get older and overdone, they can look waxy and, I don’t know what you say, preserved or something. I want a little bit of life to reflect back into my face, you know?”

In February, Brinkley celebrated her 70th birthday. “It’s your 70th and you have nothing to fear because you can make it your favorite year!” the SI model wrote in her caption.
She gets Fraxel resurfacing treatments twice a year to help with sun damage, she shared.
To promote the interview, she took to Instagram with a fun post: “I still have a few days left in my sexy sixties before I dance my way to my sensational seventies on February 2nd,” the ex of singer Billy Joel began.
‘I already know it’s going to be a spectacular year!’
The mother of three then added: “I know because that’s my plan and I’m old enough to know that it’s up to me to make sure of it.”
‘I always told my kids to go out and have a great day, and now I tell myself I’m going to make it a great year.’
She then said she had been through “a lot of scares” and feels “lucky and grateful to be here” – probably referring to her skiing accident.
She added: “I can’t believe I got here SO FAST! Time flies so fast so my advice to all the young people out there is… Love, laugh and ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST! .”

The beauty spoke to People and said she doesn’t mind having a few lines here and there, and also admitted that she’s tried Botox in the past, but doesn’t like to do too much to her face.
Last summer, the Vogue model said she will continue to pose in a bikini on social media when she turns 70 because she feels as good as she did 40 years ago.
‘I feel strong,’ said the actress People‘I feel, as I approach 70, about the same as I did when I was approaching 30. I feel good.’
She spoke to the publication while hosting Pet Life Unlimited’s Furever Young senior dog adoption event at the Animal Haven shelter in New York City.
“I feel like the number doesn’t match my spirit, so I’ll just move on,” he added. “I think they all tell us certain things,” he explained.
But she feels great. “I was surprised that I didn’t feel the way I thought I should feel at that age,” she said.
“I don’t think focusing on your age makes you feel better,” she said, sharing her advice for looking youthful: “I think curiosity about the world around you and just wanting to do something every day is what keeps you young and active,” she said.

“I want to embrace certain wrinkles. That’s how I deal with aging,” the former Vogue cover girl said. “Sometimes when people get older and overdo it, they can look waxy and, I don’t know what you’d call it, preserved or something. I want a little bit of life to come through in my face, you know?”
Family keeps her grounded, she also shared: She has daughters, Alexa Ray, 37, and Sailor, 24, as well as a son, Jack, 27.
“I love every moment when I have family and friends around, just being able to sit and laugh. I think laughter cures everything,” she continued.
In 2022, the star opened up about her figure. The actress was seen in a crop top and shorts as she stretched out on the beach while giving some great tips.
“When you eat too much, it’s not so easy to lose weight, so here’s a tried and true tip that will make you feel your best,” the model said.
She said to avoid sugar and exercise, it’s not about the size of your thighs.
The blonde also said: “Your reward will be full health! Remember that this month, when you buy a bottle, you will start planting trees!”
On her Instagram stories, she broke down her tricks for a healthy diet that doesn’t skimp on flavor but relies heavily on freshly picked fruits.
In one post, she shared a photo of a freshly cut papaya with green leaves on top.
The Cover Girl model wrote on the photo: “My neighbors grew this papaya! Look at that intense color! I’m planting the seeds for this papaya!”
