“Nonnas” actress Brenda Vaccaro, who dated Michael Douglas for seven years in the ’70s, has nothing but kind things to say about her ex-boyfriend.

“Everything was wonderful,” the actress, 85, gushes to Page Six in a recent interview.

“We were young, we were beautiful, oh my God, we were such a gorgeous couple. Breathtaking,” she tells us.

Vaccaro and Douglas, 80, co-starred in the 1971 movie “Summertree” and dated from 1972 to 1977. The couple moved to the West Coast together.

“To come to California together to experience all that stuff,” she continues. “He got his first show, ‘The Streets of San Francisco.’ We were so excited. It was like, ‘Wow, you know, we left New York and came to California and everything that was supposed to happen happened.’”

In a 2017 interview, Vaccaro admitted their relationship fell apart when she fell in love with actor Don Stroud.

Despite the split, the “Friends” alum says her time with Douglas was “great” and has no hard feelings.

“I do still adore him,” she adds. “I think he’s wonderful.”

The same year they broke up, Douglas married Diandra Luker, with whom he shares a son, Cameron. They divorced in 1995.

The “Wall Street” actor married Catherine Zeta-Jones in 2000 and the couple shares daughter Carys and son Dylan.

Vaccaro had two short-lived marriages following Douglas and has been married to real estate agent Guy Hector since 1986.

She can currently be seen in the Netflix movie “Nonnas.”

It’s based on a true story about a man who honors his late mother by opening an Italian restaurant with actual nonnas — grandmothers — helming the kitchen.

The feel-good flick also stars Susan Sarandon, Talia Shire and Lorraine Bracco as the other nonnas.

Even though Vaccaro grew up in the restaurant world — her father owned an Italian eatery — she admits to not being too interested in cooking.

“I don’t cook,” she confesses. “I can cook, but I prefer to be served!”

Vaccaro credits her “perky” personality to sage advice she received from her mother.

“She was the one who said, no matter what age you are, ‘Stay happy and stay perky,’” she shares, adding that right now she’s “just happy to be alive.

“Happy to be here, happy to have friends, happy to have good food, go out, do things…I’m glad to be alive.”
