About
Camila Rebeca Morrone (born June 16, 1997) is an Argentine‑American actress and model who has steadily blended high‑fashion pedigree with indie‑film credibility. After gaining runway attention with Moschino and front‑cover features for Vogue Turkey, she transitioned to the screen, debuting in James Franco’s Bukowski (2013) before breaking out in the gritty drama Mickey and the Bear (2019). Global audiences discovered her all over again when she played steadfast wife Camila Alvarez‑Dunne in Amazon’s Daisy Jones & The Six (2023), a role that earned Primetime Emmy and Critics’ Choice nominations. Morrone followed that acclaim with the 2024 romantic‑heist film Marmalade, opposite Joe Keery, and has already wrapped the Duffer Brothers–produced Netflix horror series Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen (expected 2026). She will also headline season 2 of the BBC thriller The Night Manager, stepping into a part previously held by Elizabeth Debicki, signaling her arrival as a bona fide leading actor.
Before Fame
Raised in Los Angeles by Argentine actors Lucila Solá and Máximo Morrone, Camila grew up bilingual and surrounded by scripts, cameras, and the work ethic of immigrant parents. She attended Beverly Hills High School, juggling homework with early bookings for Victoria’s Secret Pink and Sephora campaigns. IMG Models signed her in 2016 after she impressed on Moschino’s colorful L.A. runway, and the fashion world quickly took note—Calvin Klein eyewear, Chanel beauty features, and a NARS ambassadorship followed. Despite modeling’s momentum, Morrone always pictured herself on set; she enrolled in acting workshops during off‑seasons, landed a small role in Eli Roth’s Death Wish (2018), and skipped college graduation to audition at Sundance, determined to build a career in front of the camera.
Trivia
- Triple passport holder: She carries U.S., Argentine, and Italian citizenship, which lets her hop international productions with minimal red tape.
- Festival darling: San Diego International Film Festival honored her with its Rising Star Award in 2019—previous recipients include Florence Pugh and John Boyega.
- Rock‑band inspiration: To play Camila Alvarez‑Dunne, she studied Linda McCartney’s photographs and journals to channel a quiet yet stabilizing stage‑side spouse.
- Forward‑thinking career moves: Morrone picked Marmalade because it mixed romance and noir (“I wanted to steal cars and hearts in the same story,” she joked at the film’s London premiere).
- Beauty with a cause: Her Brilliant Earth jewelry partnership funds ocean‑plastic cleanup, and she frequently shares rescue‑dog adoption drives with her 4 million Instagram followers.
Family Life
Although born in California, Camila’s roots trace to Buenos Aires, and Spanish remains her at‑home language when she chats with her mother. After her parents’ 2006 divorce, Lucila Solá’s ten‑year relationship with Al Pacino introduced Camila to red‑carpet premieres in her teens; she still refers to Pacino as a step‑parent and says he “gave the best acting notes after dinner.” Morrone dated Leonardo DiCaprio from 2017 until 2022, weathering intense public scrutiny before an amicable split. Private by nature, she now divides downtime between Los Angeles and her father’s horse ranch outside Palm Springs, where she says riding is her favorite escape from the spotlight.
