Early life and education

Morrone was born in Los Angeles, California, to Argentine actors Maximo Morrone and Lucila Polak (who goes by the stage name Lucila Solá). They moved to Los Angeles shortly before Morrone's birth, and divorced in 2006. Camila's mother dated actor Al Pacino for ten years; she still considers him her step-father. Morrone graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 2015.

On October 18, 2019, Morrone received the Rising Star Award at the San Diego International Film Festival.

In 2023, Morrone starred in the Amazon Prime Video miniseries Daisy Jones & The Six, adapted from the best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
