Sadie Calvano's journey in musical theatre began at the tender age of seven, marking the start of her illustrious career. Some of her most cherished roles include Alice in "Alice In Wonderland" (2008) at the esteemed El Portal, Belle in "Beauty And The Beast" (2008) at The Barnsdall Theatre, the sassy Sharpay in "High School Musical" (2009) and the spirited Tallulah in "Bugsy Malone" (2011) both at the Madrid Theatre, and Christina in Crown City Theatre's four-week run of "A Chicago Christmas Carol" (2010).
Her professional career took off with a guest star appearance on Chris Elliot's "Eagleheart" in the summer of 2010, followed by a co-star role on NCIS as William Devane's kidnapped granddaughter, earning her a YAA best actress nomination. Sadie made her big screen debut as Leonardo DiCaprio's niece in the Clint Eastwood bio-epic "J. Edgar." Her credits also include appearances in pilots, guest star roles on "Kickin' It" and "Crash & Bernstein," and a recurring role on "Melissa & Joey."
Sadie still spends her summers honing her craft at Stagedoor Manor, the renowned New York theatre intensive, where she rubs shoulders with alumni like Jon Cryer, Natalie Portman, and Shawn Levy. She is also the National Spokesperson for Bags4Kids, an organization dedicated to providing comfort items and support for distressed foster children.
Committed to developing her craft and pursuing her academic education, Sadie also dedicates time to ballet, jazz, voice, and was formerly a competitive gymnast, winning the gold medal in floor exercise in July 2009 at the 2010 California State Games in San Diego.
Sadie is perhaps most well-known for her role as Violet, Anna Faris's teenage daughter, in the new Chuck Lorre comedy "Mom" (2013) on CBS. When not treading the boards, Sadie resides in Los Angeles, California with her mother, father, her cat Piper, and her adorable dog Benji. She is represented by Paradigm and Silver Linings Entertainment.
