Camila Rebeca Morrone Polak[3] (/məˈroʊn/;[4] born June 16, 1997)[5] is an American actress and model. She is the daughter of actors Maximo Morrone and Lucila Polak; and was also raised in part by actor Al Pacino (who served as a parental figure during his long-term partnership with Polak).[6][7] Morrone made her acting debut in the James Franco film Bukowski (2013). In 2016, she posed in the Victoria's Secret lookbook; and walked the runway for Moschino, the following year.[8] Since then, she has made appearances in the action film Death Wish (2018), as well as the independent films Never Goin' Back (2018) and Mickey and the Bear (2019). Her role as Camila Alvarez-Dunne in the Amazon Prime Video limited series Daisy Jones & the Six (2023), earned her a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award.

Early life and education

Morrone was born in Los Angeles, California,[9][10] to Argentine actors Maximo Morrone and Lucila Polak (who goes by the stage name Lucila Solá).[citation needed] They moved to Los Angeles shortly before Morrone's birth, and divorced in 2006.[10] Camila's mother, Lucila, dated actor Al Pacino for several years; she still considers him her step-father.[11] Morrone graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 2015.[10] Her maternal grand-aunt is Argentine-Polish pathologist Julia Polak.[citation needed] Her mother is of Slovenian descent.[citation needed]
