Born in Rome, Leone began working in the theater since 1981,[1] but became popular thanks to the participation to several variety shows of good success broadcast by Raitre (La TV delle ragazze, Scusate l’interruzione, Avanzi, Tunnel).[1][2] She is also active in films, mainly used for short but often effective character roles.[1][2]
In 1991 Leone suffered a congenital aneurysm of the basilar artery, undergoing a complicated surgery in Phoenix, Arizona which had a mortality rate of 80%. She was paralyzed on the left side of the body but was able to recover completely. She eventually went back to work after a long absence.[2][3]
