Christie Brinkley thanks ‘Vacation’ co-star for saving her from going topless in classic comedy

Christie Brinkley avoided going topless in the film “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” with thanks to Beverly D’Angelo. Brinkley played the flirty “Girl in the Ferrari” opposite Chevy Chase’s character, Clark Griswold. In her new memoir “Uptown Girl,” Brinkley revealed that producers had initially asked her to do a topless scene, but she declined. Instead, D’Angelo stepped in and offered to do the scene, allowing Brinkley to maintain her boundaries. Brinkley expressed gratitude for D’Angelo’s support and emphasized that she has never posed nude throughout her modeling career. She hopes her story will inspire others to stand firm in their decisions and live life on their own terms.
