Actress Beverly D’Angelo, best known for her role in the National Lampoon’s Vacation movies, is opening up about her love life. In a recent interview, she talked about how she fell in love with Al Pacino when she was still married to her husband, Italian duke Lorenzo Salviati in the 1990s.
Beverly and Lorenzo met in the early ’80s and quickly eloped. They would often do their own thing but she said “if there were any crises or anything, we’d come back together.” She explained, “I always thought the guys that I was with thought it was great that I was married because they knew ‘no responsibility here!’ But when I met Al Pacino and told him about my little deal, he said, ‘Well, that’s crazy.'”

She told him, “And I said, ‘I really love him and we’re talking about having kids and he thinks it’s crazy that I’m married and now I’m thinking it is too.'” Finally, when she told Lorenzo that it was Al Pacino that she fell for, his response was surprising.
