Beverly D’Angelo is a Golden Globe and Emmy award nominee American actor and singer who became a household name in the USA owing to the ‘National Lampoon’s Vacation’ film series, with the sequels spreading out across 3 decades. Despite her stellar acting chops, Beverly never achieved the success her less talented contemporaries did. She charmed the audiences with her colourful persona, down to earth attitude and her ability to steel every shot she was in. Beverly started her career as an animator in the 60s, and later moved to Canada to find a career in Rock music as a singer. Her acting career started with Broadway Musicals in the mid 70s and since then she has appeared in over 60 movies and several TV shows. Her fist big break came in cult director Woody Allen’s ‘Annie Hall’ where she played a minor role. The role, however small, was enough to get Beverly into the mainstream Hollywood and a string of hits such as ‘Hair’ and ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ followed. Beverly hasn’t looked back since and later in her life she became part of cult films such as ‘American History X’ and a hit TV series ‘Entourage’ for HBO.
