D'Angelo, 74, who originated the role of Ellen Griswold alongside Chevy Chase‘s Clark W. Griswold in the first National Lampoon’s Vacation film in 1983, played the iconic role of Ellen in several follow-ups, including 1989’s beloved holiday version, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Pacino, of course, is known for diverse roles ranging from The Godfather and Dog Day Afternoon to Carlito’s Way and Scent of a Woman. But the former couple, who split in 2004, got back together this week to celebrate the actor's big 86th birthday, Page Six reported. Now that's keeping the friendship alive!

What Has D'Angelo Said About Having Twins at 49 With Pacino?
“I did not raise my kids in that culture,” D’Angelo told PEOPLE. “If I would have been more focused, maybe I would have had a bigger career, but I was focused on my kids, to tell you the truth.”
“I had kids really late — I gave birth to twins six weeks after I turned 49,” she told Fox News Digital. “It was really important to me to place them at the center of my world. So, I wouldn’t do any films that would take me out of town for any amount of time. I did television, I did some indie films and things like that, but my focus was really to always be emotionally and physically available to my kids.”
“There’s this thing that happens when you have kids,” D’Angelo shared. “All of a sudden, you go, ‘Oh, wait a minute, my parents.’ You look at how you were raised. Maybe some of the things that you thought were a drag when you were a kid turn out to be exactly what you want to pass on. And my value system has never included a lot of hype or a lot of focus on fame.”
“And I’ve got to make a confession: I’m not a careerist,” she told the publication. “I have never been. Everything I’ve done is because I love a script or a character. But as far as pursuing a career, I wasn’t somebody who had a dream like, ‘One day I’m going to grow up and become an actress.’ That’s not me. I never thought, ‘If I do this role, maybe I’ll get this other role.’ I’ve always just been motivated by a profound need to express myself.”
