She has developed a notable career as an actress and has not done badly in her long career as a model, but the world learned of the existence of Camila Morrone (26) for a reason that had nothing to do with her talent. The daughter of Argentinians born in Los Angeles was the talk of gossip magazines around the world during the five years that her courtship with Leonardo DiCaprio lasted, particularly due to the abrupt age difference between the two. And although throughout that time Camila was careful not to openly admit the relationship, she knew how to take advantage of the attention she generated to show what she could do with a camera in front of her.
Thus, in 2019, she won a good number of accolades for her leading role in the independent film Mickey and the Bear, in which she played a teenager from Montana who must take care of the home she shares with an addicted father played by James Badge. Deale. The film, which premiered in our theaters in October 2020, played an important role in him being considered for one of the main roles in the Amazon miniseries Everybody Loves Daisy Jones.
Although the film performed poorly in American theaters, it was shown while casting sessions were taking place in the months before the pandemic. Camila, who at the suggestion of a friend had read the novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid on which the series is based, since there was a very important character there who had her name, was hired by director James Ponsoldt shortly after she joined Riley Keough to lead the cast. The curious thing about the case is that she was chosen precisely to play Camila, a photographer who follows the group The Six and falls madly in love with the band's leader, Billy Dunne.
Morrone was invited by Ponsoldt to participate in chemistry tests with the main candidate for that role, Sam Claflin. The British actor rose to fame in major blockbusters such as the fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, and the three Hunger Games films. The result can be seen on the screen. The photographer played by Morrone is a woman who is willing to maintain her relationship at any price, even when the person who becomes her husband and father of her daughter does not hide her constant infidelities and cannot resist the temptations of drugs and alcohol. common in rock groups of the seventies.
If Camila Álvarez speaks Spanish like her, and although her origin is never revealed, she makes it clear that in her home she was raised with the language of Cervantes. The series, which follows the triumph and fall of the title band in the 1970s and its eventual association with the character played by Elvis Presley's granddaughter, who sings very well but fails to convince with her compositions, is mixed. of current interviews with all those involved.
Whoever turns to Wikipedia to try to find something about Jones, Dunne or Álvarez will not find anything, since the great merit of the proposal is that it tells as real a story that emerged from Reid's imagination. The good work deserved recognition from the members of the United States Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which gave Everybody Loves Daisy Jones nine Emmy nominations, including one for Morrone as best supporting actress in a miniseries. Voting has just concluded, but the results will not be known until January, since the gala was postponed due to the actors and screenwriters' strike that has frozen the industry.
Her rivals are six, including Claire Danes, María Bello and Juliette Lewis. And even though predictions point to Niecy Nash-Betts as the potential winner for Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, many agree that Camila can spring the big surprise.
While she waits, the actress, who in March shared her happiness over Argentina's victory in the World Cup on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show, remains in the spotlight with the premiere of Patricia's first film at the Toronto Film Festival. Arquette as director, Gonzo girl in which she shares the bill with Willem Defoe, playing a young writer who takes a job as an assistant to a complicated novelist, played by Arquette herself. And while it is currently unknown when she will be seen, she also plays the title character in Marmalade, an independent film that tells a love story between two bank robbers.
