Rona de Ricci was born in Italy in mid-January of 1965. After modeling in the early 1980s, she landed a supporting role in the Israeli film Rage and Glory (1984). In this same year, she moved to the United States, where she attended the Lee Strasburg Film and Theater Institute in New York City. In the late 1980s she obtained U.S. citizenship. In 1988, she appeared in the film The Penitent, as well as a Fleetwood Mac music video for the song As Long as You Follow. She later appeared in The Pit and the Pendulum (1991), her last acting project. Dissatisfied with roles she auditioned for following that film, she left the acting profession and married in 1993. With her husband she started a roofing business in California. They later had two sons, born in 2000 and 2004. In 2015 she filed for divorce, although she lived separated from her husband from that point on, the divorce never being finalized. In 2018 she relocated to Cologne, Germany. Unable to find employment, and by this time completely estranged from her husband and two children, she wrote her autobiography, Truth & Dare, published in June of 2020. Later that same month, while still living in Germany, she died, from suicide.
