An affecting and charismatic actress, Camila Morrone is quickly making a name for herself as one of Hollywood's most talented performers.
In Morrone's latest film Gonzo Girl, she goes toe-to-toe with Oscar-winning actor Willem Dafoe, showcasing her undeniable screen presence in this thrilling adaptation of Cheryl Della Pietra's semiautobiographical novel of her time assisting the iconic and controversial father of gonzo journalism Hunter S. Thompson. The film, which is Patricia Arquette's directorial debut, premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival and Morrone has received critical acclaim for her performance, including Indiewire noting this film as "the best example yet of her insane star power and wild magnetism."
Morrone received her first Emmy Award nomination for her performance in Amazon's hit limited series Daisy Jones & The Six, produced by Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine and based on the popular book of the same name. She stars opposite Riley Keough and Sam Claflin in the musical drama which charts the spectacular rise and precipitous fall of a renowned rock band in the 1970s. Morrone's performance has been recognized as the "standout", "show-stealing" and "the beating heart of the series". The series received eight additional nominations including "Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series".
