Rising to fame in the 1980s for her portrayal of Ellen Griswold in the hit comedy National Lampoon’s Vacation, Beverly D’Angelo became a household name, and now, at 74 years old, she is still at the top of her game.
Before her breakout role in the American road comedy film, Beverly enjoyed a taste of success for her part in 1979’s Hair and even earned a Golden Globe nomination for starring in 1980’s Coal Miner’s Daughter.
After her stint as Ellen, the star went on to act in numerous films and TV shows across the decades, including Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Entourage and Violent Night.
From becoming a mother to entanglements with other famous stars, HELLO! is taking a look at what the star has been up to since she thrilled audiences in 1983.
Where is Beverly D’Angelo now?
Enjoying a sunny life in her early 70s, the star is living in Los Angeles and continues to pursue her acting career with roles in films such as 2025’s No Address.
She balances her quieter Hollywood life with parenting her two children, whom she shares with superstar Al Pacino, with whom she maintains a good relationship despite their split in 2004 after seven years together.
Beverly is active on social media and regularly shares updates with her followers on her life as a mother and a working actress. She also makes appearances at entertainment- focused conventions across America in her spare time.
Beverly’s twins
The actress has two children, twins named Anton and Olivia, who were born on 25 January 2001 via IVF, during Beverly’s relationship with her former partner, Al Pacino.
She welcomed the twins when she was 49 years old and chose to momentarily take a step back from acting to focus on motherhood, deliberately raising them away from the spotlight.
Beverly and Al co-parent their children, who are now in their mid-20s, and the actress told People magazine: “The greatest gift that Al ever gave me was to make me a mother.”
She added: “As for me and Al, it is a unique and profound friendship between two artists that endures to this day, through thick and thin, 27 years now of doing it our way. And there you have it.”
The Godfather star spoke to The New Yorker about fatherhood in 2014, saying: “I’m responsible to them. I’m a part of their life. When I’m not, it’s upsetting to me and to them. So that’s part of the gestalt. And I get a lot from it. It takes you out of yourself.”
Beverly’s relationships
Beverly’s most notable romantic relationship was with Al, and it all began in 1996 when they met on a plane. The couple dated from 1997 until 2004 and continued to be friends due to their shared parenting responsibilities.
Opening up about her time spent with the actor, she shared an Instagram video explaining how they met. In the clip, she said: “I lived with Al for seven years, and we have two children.
“In 1996, we were on the same plane going from Los Angeles to New York. He was seated in front of me, he said ‘come up and sit beside me,’ and by the time the plane landed, it was on.”
She added: “In 1997, he looked me in the eye and said, ‘I want you to be the mother of my children,’ and although I’d avoided that role my whole life, I was deeply in love and I was 100 per cent in.”
Before she met Al, Beverly was married to an Italian duke, Lorenzo Salviati, from 1981 until 1995. In the past, she described their marriage as an open, “unconventional” arrangement, which ended after she met the Hollywood star.
Also in the 80s and early 90s, she was linked to Academy Award-winning production designer Anton Furst, until his death in 1991 and was connected to Hair director Miloš Forman in the late 1970s.
