Beverly D'Angelo: 75 and Fabulous!

Hollywood icon Beverly D'Angelo marked her 75th birthday on November 15, 2026. Decades after her breakthrough role as Ellen Griswold in "National Lampoon's Vacation" (1983), she continues to embody timeless glamour. D'Angelo has openly shared her refreshing perspective on aging, emphasizing authenticity and self-acceptance over conforming to industry beauty standards. She finds appeal in genuine self-expression and has learned to challenge negative self-talk.

Her career includes memorable roles beyond the Griswold family, such as her Golden Globe-nominated portrayal of Patsy Cline in "Coal Miner's Daughter" (1980). D'Angelo also appeared in "Entourage" and "American History X," and more recently in "No Address" and "Christmas at the Kringles." She welcomed twins Anton and Olivia in 2001 with former partner Al Pacino, prioritizing motherhood over an even more extensive acting career, a choice she stands by.

Despite separating over two decades ago, D'Angelo and Pacino have remained amicable, co-parenting their now 25-year-old twins. Their continued closeness was evident when they were photographed together in Beverly Hills celebrating Pacino's 86th birthday in April of this year.
