Jone Morino (28 April 1896 – 14 September 1978)[1] was an Italian film and stage actress.
Born in Rome, at young age Morino started working on stage alongside her sister Maria, best known as 'Mariola'.[2] She worked in important theatrical companies, including those by Eleonora Duse, Ruggero Ruggeri, Peppino De Filippo and Giorgio Strehler.[2] In cinema, she started being active in the 1920s, appearing in a few silent films, and after a long pause reprised her film career in the late 1930s, specializing in comedic character roles.[2] Between 1954 and 1969, she served as an acting teacher at the Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico.[2] In 1978, while living in a nursing home and battling depression, she committed suicide by jumping into the Tiber.[2]
