Creator / Dilone

Janiece Altagracia Dilone (born May 13, 1994 in New York City) is an American actress and model of Dominican descent. She's known professionally by just her last name, which Dilone did to help represent her family (it's pronounced as "Dill-own"). Dilone comes from a large family, being the eighth of ten children. Both her parents came to the US from the Dominican Republic.

Dilone has been on the cover of many fashion magazines, with her being ranked among the top 50 models in the US, beginning her modeling career at age 19. Apart from modeling, she has also begun acting too. She is openly bisexual, and as of 2019 was dating another woman.

Filmography:

• Halston (2021) as Pat Cleveland (2 episodes)
• The Novice (2021) as Dani (main role)
• The Sex Lives of College Girls (2021) as Maddy (2 episodes)
• The Good Mother (2023) as Gina (main role)

• Tropes in her work include:
• Boyish Short Hair: In Halston, The Novice and The Sex Lives of College Girls she's got very short hair, which fits with her mostly androgynous clothing style (a staple of Dilone's modeling too). She is a Butch Lesbian too in The Novice.
• Twofer Token Minority: In The Novice and Halston she's the main cast's only person of color, playing Pat Cleveland (who's black) or Dani (unknown).
