Ronalda Jones is a Canadian actress and writer.[1] Predominantly a stage actress, she gained wider notice for her performance in the 1981 film Alligator Shoes, for which she received a Genie Award nomination for Best Actress at the 3rd Genie Awards.[2]
Originally from Prince Edward Island, Jones studied drama at the University of Windsor.[1]
Despite her critically acclaimed performance in Alligator Shoes, Jones had difficulty landing another film role due to the film's relatively limited audience.[1] Her only other film or television performing credit was a 1985 episode of Night Heat. She continued to perform and direct on stage, including roles in Steve Petch's Cousins[3] and Robert Locke's The Dolly,[4] and directing a production of John Patrick Shanley's Danny and the Deep Blue Sea.[5] She subsequently worked in documentary production, writing several episodes of Biography and the documentary film Blacklight Dreams: The 25 Years of the Famous People Players, and working on the production teams of the documentary films The Bunny Years, Olga: The Last Grand Duchess, Sarah McLachlan: A Life of Music and The Incomparable Jackie Richardson.
