Beverly D'Angelo has long been known for her starring turns in the "National Lampoon’s Vacation" movies. In them, she played the role of Ellen Griswold -- the matriarch of a pretty typical nuclear family that constantly finds itself on vacation misadventures. However, the actress’s real life couldn’t have been more different. D’Angelo was married to Italian duke Don Lorenzo Salviati for nearly 15 years before breaking things off for Al Pacino. Now, the veteran actress is reflecting on how that breakup went down and how her husband reacted when he got the news.
When Beverly D’Angelo fell in love with the "Scarface" actor in the ‘90s, she was married to Salviati but reportedly had an open marriage. While speaking to People, the "Vacation" actress explained that she’d had other relationships outside her marriage before linking up with Pacino, who she thought liked the arrangement due to their being no responsibility. However, when Pacino heard about her "understanding" within her marriage, his response differed from what the actress assumed. Here’s how D’Angelo broke the news to her then-husband.
