Fort Myers Actress Joins 'Only Murders in the Building' Season 5 Cast
A familiar face from Fort Myers Beach is stepping into a whole new spotlight, making her mark on one of television’s most popular murder-mystery series. Elizabeth D’Onofrio, known locally for her work bartending, serving and even performing aboard Salty Sam’s pirate ship, has landed her biggest TV role yet, playing Nonna in season five of “Only Murders in the Building.”
D’Onofrio’s journey is a story of persistence and passion. Despite growing up around Hollywood—her brother Vincent D’Onofrio is a household name from roles in “Men in Black” and “Daredevil”—she put her acting ambitions on hold to focus on raising her son as a single mom. “I had to keep a roof over my son’s head,” she explained, balancing everyday responsibilities while keeping her dream alive.
Her arrival on set was more than just a career milestone. Working alongside legends like Steve Martin and Martin Short, D’Onofrio describes the experience as “the most fun I’ve ever had.” But it wasn’t just star power that drew her in; it was the connection to her character. Nonna, with her secrets and strong personality, was inspired by D’Onofrio’s own great-grandmothers, giving the role authenticity and depth.
