National Lampoon’s Beverly D’Angelo Looks Nearly Unrecognizable Running Errands: See the Pics!

Beverly D’Angelo was spotted on Tuesday, July 8, looking nearly unrecognizable as she stepped out in Los Angeles.

In the photo, obtained exclusively by Globe, the National Lampoon’s Vacation star, 73, traded her signature honey-blond hair for long, natural gray locks. She kept her look casual, donning a blue-and-white striped long-sleeve shirt, jeans, sling-toe sandals and a black bag.

In 2020, the iconic ’80s actress spoke to Growing Bolder about aging and what it means in Hollywood.

“I had kids really late in life. I think I read some statistic that there were like 285 women that had kids at my age that year. I got pregnant at 48, and I gave birth to twins at 49,” D’Angelo — who is a mom to twins Olivia and Anton, now 24 —  explained. “So I live a kind of interesting demographic life anyway. For me, age is a number.”

“I think it’s matter of experience. It always surprises me when I read how old I am,” she added. “For me the value of older women on television and cinema has to do with seeing a woman at a stage of her life when she is a sum of all of the flaws, all of the things she’s experienced. I love experience.”

D’Angelo said she has embraced aging telling Growing Bolder, “For women, once you hit 60, you really have an opportunity for spiritual growth, whatever that means to you, and more growth as a human being.”

The Golden Globe nominated actress shares her two children with ex Al Pacino, whom she was in a relationship with from 1997 to 2003.

D’Angelo gave insight into her relationship with the famed actor in 2020 on the Inside of You podcast hosted by Michael Rosenbaum.

“[I’m] very close with my kids and extremely close with Al were a wonderful family,” she remarked. “We have a spectacular friendship. I tell him everything — I don’t know if he tells me everything. We talk all the time. We kind of went from like loving each other, becoming parents, hating each other, becoming friends and then best friends.”

D’Angelo is best known for her role as Ellen Griswald in the National Lampoon’s Vacation comedy franchise, which she starred in alongside Chevy Chase. The first film, National Lampoon’s Vacation, came out in 1983 and D’Angelo  reprised her role in subsequent films: National Lampoon’s European Vacation (1985), National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989) Vegas Vacation (1997) and Vacation (2015).
