Actor Beverly D'Angelo reveals a recipe of turkey ex-Al Pacino adores. See details

Beverly D'Angelo’s speciality dish, turkey wrapped in prosciutto, will be served to her ex-Al Pacino and their 21-year-old twins. She dated the actor, who starred in Godfather, for five years. This Thanksgiving, the 71-year-old, whose paternal ancestors were from the Italian area of Abruzzo, will bake the same fowl.

She pulls the skin off and packs it with brine, kosher, salt, lemon and rosemary, and a bit of red pepper, according to the actor, who stars in the dark comedy "Violent Night." The next day, she will wrap it with prosciutto-like bandages and bake it in the oven. D'Angelo stated that Pacino, 82, whom she refers to as "the finest actor we have," will not be doing any of the cooking.



In terms of her acting career, she emphasised motherhood when she had her children at 49. She said no to several exciting employment opportunities, and eventually, they stopped asking.

Although her parenting agreement with Pacino was 50/50, she felt that whether they were with Al or with her, they needed at least one parent, who was physically and emotionally accessible. That meant occasionally stepping aside to allow Pacino to showcase his talents. Her mother always told her it doesn't matter, who gives what in a marriage and a family as long as it adds up to 100. She played the character of Ellen Griswold, Chevy Chase’s (Clark) adoring wife in all five National Lampoon "Vacation" films.
