80s Movie Icon Beverly D'Angelo Now Unrecognizable — Can You Guess Her?
Beverly D'Angelo Spotted on Rare Outing: Still Red-Hot at 64!
The Queen of Eighties Cinema, Beverly D'Angelo, stunned fans with a rare sighting in Los Angeles last week! The actress, who rose to fame with her iconic roles in National Lampoon's Vacation and Coal Miner's Daughter, was spotted running errands on July 8 - a whopping 40 years after she first captured our hearts on the big screen.
D'Angelo, known for her captivating performances in cult classic films like Hair and Honky Tonk Freeway, has built an impressive résumé with over 60 movie credits to her name. Her most notable roles include starring as Ellen Griswold alongside Chevy Chase in the National Lampoon's Vacation comedy series.
But what about her personal life? D'Angelo was once linked to Hollywood royalty Al Pacino, with whom she shared two kids and had a five-year romance in the early 2000s. The pair has remained close friends and co-parenting partners, often spotted together on family outings - like their recent escape room adventure!
So, what's behind D'Angelo's unrecognizable transformation? Gone are the signature bouncy waves of her iconic roles; instead, she rocked a fresh blowout for her solo outing. The 64-year-old stunner paired a blue pinstriped button-down blouse with straight-leg jeans and white leather sandals, effortlessly exuding style as she went about her day in LA.
The actress, who has earned critical acclaim for her portrayal of country music legend Patsy Cline in Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) and received an Emmy nomination for her role as Stella Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1984), seems to have defied the odds of Hollywood's ageist industry. Her recent projects, including The House Bunny (2008) and Violent Night (2022), prove that D'Angelo still has what it takes to captivate audiences.
In her early days, D'Angelo was a backup singer for rockabilly artist Ronnie Hawkins and worked as an animator at Hanna-Barbera. Her musical talents ran in the family - her mother Priscilla Ruth Smith was a violinist, while her father Eugene D'Angelo managed a television station and played bass.
After a brief marriage to Italian duke Lorenzo Salviati in the early 80s, D'Angelo went on to date Al Pacino, with whom she had twins Olivia and Anton (now 24) before their divorce. The pair has put aside their differences to co-parent their kids, often opening up about their contemporary, co-parenting relationship.
In recent years, D'Angelo has been spotted on various outings with her family, including a 2023 escapade at an escape room with Al Pacino and the twins. Her solo outing last week was a rare treat for fans, who got to see the star in a more relaxed setting - grabbing chilled canned beverages and snacks from a convenience store.
With over four decades of experience in the industry, D'Angelo has built a legacy that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The Scholarly Note (thescholarlynote.com) is thrilled to bring you this exclusive update on the beloved actress's life, career, and recent adventures!
