Chevy Shade and Beverly D'Angelo go way back so it's not all that surprising that they're friends. Their bond is deeper than most due to the storms they've weathered together. "Because not only is my friendship with Chevy Chase tried and true, and when I say tried, I mean tried," shared D'Angelo with AV Club. "We've gone through so many things together. We tried to do a TV show a couple of years ago. It was a nightmare. I was so mad at him when we were shooting the pilot." However, once things were done, she was like happy to go back to "loving him." That's a long-term friendship."

However, their stellar chemistry also helped to cement their bond (and also helped keep them employed). "Ellen and Clark [Griswold] are born out of the chemistry that Chevy and I have," shared D'Angelo with Fox News. "It's not like we slip into those roles, but there's something about our brains that makes it very easy to go into." A few films into working together, D'Angelo received a very important title. "By 'European Vacation.' I inherited the role of Chevy whisperer," shared D'Angelo. "So it would be a weird dynamic. Like nobody would want to say, 'Chevy, move over there' or 'Chevy, do this or do that' because it's Chevy. You know what I mean?" she continued about Chase (who's been known to be a bit shady).
