Dana Barron Actress Famous Why?

Answer 1

Dana Barron, born Stacey Dana Barron is famous mostly for her role as Audrey Griswold in National Lampoon's Vacation. This was in 1983 and was the zenith of the actress's career.

But the Dana Barron story doesn't stop there. Sure she went on to do other roles but mostly just guest stuff and walk ons or supporting roles. Dana's real fame came when she became the face of safe sex and rubbers for her generation with her popular Trojan Condom ad. This ad still the stuff of legend can be found all over YouTube and myspace.

Dana Barron's real fame though would come later in her life in her 40's and early 50's when she would head the flagship of fire safety education. Dana Barron is most famous these days with public schools for her work in educating children about the dangers of smoking and fire. Dana along side McGruff the crime dog, Tom Schmeck and a severely talent impaired guitarist in the sessions industry named Jeff Fiorentino has produced more than 200 fire safety film strips for public schools. The group has won 3 awards to date for their work.

Dana Barron is a fine actress, and a terrific mom I'm told. Dana has 4 children and one on the way according to internet reports and she doesn't have time to take full credit for the good work she's done over the years. But even if most only know her as Audrey from Vacation Dana Barron can take solace in knowing that her work will live on forever in the hearts of Millions of school children.

Dana Barron is also in the cartoon network hall of fame for her pairing with the more famous McGruff the crime dog. Together Dana Barron, McGruff, Tom Schmeck, and Jeff Fiorentino, encourage school children to, "Take a bite out of fire".

God bless Dana Barron I say. She's been called the Mother Teresa of Fire. More true words were never spoken people. Never spoken.
