We're not sure which movie this is from, but the presence of Louis Gosset, Jr. and Michael O'Keefe leads us to believe that this is a still from Finders Keepers (1984). You probably best know D'Angelo, born in 1954, as ever-suffering Ellen Griswold, wife of Chevy Chase's Clark Griswold, in National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) and its three sequels (not to mention the 2007 Family Guy spoof of Star Wars, Blue Harvest).But this multi-talented actress is versatile far beyond her obvious comedic chops. An artist at Hanna Barbera, she was a folk singer in Canadian coffee houses and sang with a rock band called Elephant before making her Broadway debut in Rockabye Hamlet (1976). D'Angelo has since appeared in over 90 movies and TV shows as of this biography, including a Golden Globe-winning portrayal of Patsy Cline in Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) and an Emmy-nominated turn as Stella DuBois Kowalski in a 1985 TV adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire (1984). Her TV roles include Sidney Gibson on Rude Awakening (1999), Rebecca Balthus on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (2003-2008), Barbara Miller on Entourage (2005-2009) and the voice of country singer Lurleen Lumpkin on The Simpsons (1992 and 2008). Lightly bowed. Signature has low contrast but is legible. Otherwise in fine condition.
