Inez Palange (June 13, 1889 – October 16, 1962), also written as Ines Palange, was an Italian-born American actress and singer who was best known for her role as Mrs. Camonte in the 1932 film Scarface.
Palange performed in the first Italian language dialogue film, Sei tu l'amore?, released in 1930.
[2] Palange played the mother of a gangster in Scarface (1932).
Her dialogue with the character of her American-born daughter in which she warns against her son's character has been described as portraying two conflicting character traits, her Old World wisdom in seeing through her son's facade but expressed in halting, non-standard English, underlining her status in the New World as an unassimilated and uneducated immigrant, signifying her inability to relate her insights to her daughter.
[3] Palange had a variety of supporting, minor, and bit roles in various Hollywood films.
