We speak to actress and comedian Beverly D'Angelo about her fun and fabulous role in ViolentNight and her wild ride of a career from NationalLampoon to Insatiable:
Thanks to her part in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, one of the most beloved Christmas movies of all time, Beverly D'Angelo is holiday royalty. Thus, her appearance in Violent Night comes as a pleasant surprise, even if her character is cut from a very different cloth from Ellen Griswold. The film is an action-packed, holiday-themed extravaganza that deals with equal parts comedy and R-rated action, while never letting go of its saccharine Christmas sensibilities.
When I was talking to Tommy Wirkola, he said that he didn't really have to direct you; he could just strategically deploy you. Can you talk about getting to be a sassy wicked matriarch in this movie? But Ronnie did direct me to an opera teacher. I studied opera while I was singing with Ronnie. His name was Ed Johnson, in Hamilton, Ontario. He was really the person who showed me the connection between singing and storytelling and drama and lyrics as tools for emotion, you know? So that was key. Ronnie Hawkins was a very important person in my life. Thank you for even mentioning him or knowing who he is! Because he was an original. He was one of them.
We saw it as, "Hey, it's about Clark and Ellen and that family. Don't we want to follow their story?" But there's something about demographics, and I think they didn't want old people in it or something.
