Born Cornelius Crane Chase, the actor known as Chevy Chase was born in 1943 to high-society New York parents. His father, Ned, was well-known in the publishing field and worked for The New Yorker, and his mother was the heiress to British wealth. Chevy Chase showed an early talent for music, and he went first to Haverford College and then to Bard College, where he studied music and played the drums. He released an album in 1968, but his music career never took off. Instead, he had dabbled with writing for a comedy troupe, and that writing pushed him to his first movie The Groove Tube.
Chase was named for his adoptive grandfather Cornelius, who lived at Castle Hill, Ipswich, Massachusetts. Castle Hill, which was later used in the filming of The Witches of Eastwick, served as a vacation home for the toddler during the first years of his life. The name "Chevy" was a nickname bestowed by his grandmother. As a descendant of the Scottish Clan Douglas, who repelled an English invasion at the Battle of Cheviot Hills ("Chevy Chase") in 1436, the name "Chevy" seemed appropriate to her. Chase's parents divorced when he was four; his father remarried into the Folgers coffee family, and his mother married twice more. Both parents died in 2005. His mother is buried, along with other family members, at the Artist's Cemetery in Woodstock, New York.

If you want it that bad call the Screen actors guild and ask for his managers info. Then call manager and convince them for an email or way to get to him.
