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. 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.
