Sarah Holcomb is an American former actress. Her first role was in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) as Clorette DePasto, the 13-year-old daughter of shady Mayor Carmine DePasto; Holcomb was 19 years old when filming began in October, 1977.
The genesis for Animal House lay in Miller's own experiences as a Dartmouth undergraduate from 1959 to 1963. The film's title is a reference to Delta Tau Chi, the movie fraternity modeled after Alpha Delta, a now-unrecognized fraternity of which Miller was a brother.
The popular college movie Animal House was filmed in a few Oregon cities, Eugene, College Grove, and Dexter. The campus used for Faber College was the real college campus of the University of Oregon.

Is there any relation/writer reference to the Faber College in Animal House and the liberal arts professor character Faber in the book Fahrenheit 451? No one has answered this question yet.

One is an American flag, and the other is a Tennessee state flag, even though the film was supposed to have taken place in Pennsylvania. (This was due to the producers not being able to find a Pennsylvania flag that was large enough, so they settled on what they felt to be a fairly generic-looking state flag.)
Belushi said, “No I can do it. I can chug it.” He asked them to drill a small hole in the bottom of the bottle so he could control the liquid going down his throat. It was not really Jack Daniels, but some kind of tea or colored liquid. He did chug it, though.
National Lampoon's Animal House, one of the most successful American film comedies of all time, was filmed in the Eugene area in the fall of 1977. The producers needed a campus setting for their story of the disreputable Delta Tau Chi fraternity and the mayhem it creates in 1962 at fictional Faber College.
John Belushi's performance in the cafeteria scene was entirely improvised. When he began piling food on his tray, director John Landis urged the camera operator to "stay with him." The infamous "I'm a zit" gag was also improvised, and the reaction from the cast is completely genuine.
It would be set on a college campus in the 1960s, loosely based on the experiences of Lampoon writers Chris Miller and Harold Ramis and Lampoon editor Doug Kenney. They named it Animal House, in honor of Miller's fraternity at Dartmouth, where the members had been nicknamed after animals.
