Isabella Morano developed her passion for acting at a young age in her home town of Milwaukee, WI. She was a gregarious, firecracker of a child.

She remembers seeing ‘Wicked’ on stage for the first time and nearly leaping out of her seat with excitement onto the stage. Isabella attended acting camps and took private voice lessons from ages 6-10 and performed in a variety of local stage productions. Her mother, Jean, was her greatest supporter — the two dreamed of Isabella’s future as an actress together. Tragically, Isabella lost her mother to cancer when she was 11 years old. With that loss came the loss of her support system and acting fell to the wayside.

She moved to California when she turned 18 and focused her efforts on wine and spirits. After 12 years of massive success in the industry (including the creation of her popular brand Isa Wines), Isabella has reignited her passion for acting. While the wine community remains an important part of her life, she found herself looking for more joyful creative outlets and felt drawn to return to her roots.

She enrolled in classes at The Meisner Technique Studio in 2023 and is on her way to graduating from the school in 2025. She’s most inspired by actresses like Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham Carter, Ayo Edibiri, Tina Fey, Florence Pugh, and Ilana Glazer. She shines equally in comedy and drama, bringing quick wit and depth to each character’s story.

A truly versatile performer, Isabella takes each role to new heights with her attention to detail and deep empathy for the human condition.
