Speaking about her character Ellen Griswold in the Vacation movie franchise, the actress said that she made some changes to her character. She said:“First of all, I modeled it on my mom.”She jokingly said that Ellen Groswold was the “original milf.” Sharing candid details about the first movie, she said:“The first one was supposed to be a satire and then it was a big surprise that everybody was instead of laughing at the Griswolds, they identified with the Griswolds. That was a surprise to me. Chevy [Chase] claims he knew all along, but it was an R-rated film. It wasn't geared for families.”Beverly D’Angelo opined that the movie was more like a romantic comedy. Looking back on her familial experiences, the actress remembered:“I grew up witnessing a great love affair, but the concept of divorce or quitting or hey, that's not going to work for me that I wasn't exposed to that. It wasn't in our vocabulary. And so in that ways it was traditional but because there was such a great love between my mom and dad it didn't seem like a stretch.”She then mentioned some of the scenes that she wanted to be changed. Beverly D’Angelo felt some of the changes made a great difference in the dynamics of her character.Also Read: When did Chevy Chase quit SNL?
