About this episode
Beverly D’Angelo may be best known as Ellen Griswold in the Vacation movie franchise, but she actually got her showbiz start as a singer! She was a rock n roller long before she ever graced the silver screen or Broadway stage! In fact, it was her incredible singing that landed her the award-winning role of Patsy Cline in Coal Miner’s Daughter alongside Sissy Spacek, and an in-person audition for the part in front of the legendary Loretta Lynn herself. Beverly recounts her days on the road with Rompin’ Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks, and explains how that led to Coal Miner’s Daughter which in turn led to Vacation. She remembers getting a call from Doug Ellin to make a one-off cameo appearance on HBO’s Entourage, and how that quickly turned into a recurring character. Plus, Beverly reveals her upcoming plans to make a music docu-series!
