RANDY QUAID CHASES ODDBALL COMEBACK

Hollywood outcast making bank on fan convention circuit

QUIRKY Randy Quaid’s high-flying career crashed and burned nearly 15 years ago amid his oddball behavior and runins with the law — but tipsters tell GLOBE the Hollywood has-been is coming out of hiding to reclaim his lucrative livelihood!

In recent years, the older brother of screen hunk Dennis Quaid has lived like a virtual hermit with wife Evi. But last month, the grizzled goof, 72, leapt back into the spotlight at a fan convention in Dallas by signing autographs for cash and yukking it up with his old National Lampoon’s Vacation co-stars Chevy Chase and Christie Brinkley!

“Randy is a handful, but he is still beloved to film fans,” a source squeals. “I think he wanted to prove he can be embraced by showing up in public again.”
