    For me, I’ll remember two of her performances the most: quirky and sexy in Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss me, and such a kick as one of the parents in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

    Eighty-nine is a good run but of course it’s still a sad loss.

    She has a very lengthy [IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002663/?ref_=fn_all_nme_1) but not sure her name would be highly recognizable to modern audiences. With the holiday season coming up, if anyone is an annual watcher of *National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation*, you know her as Clark’s mom.

    I was just watching a video about Christmas Vacation yesterday. RIP to an incredible actor 💜
