Biography of Sasha Calle

Sasha Calle, a talented Latina actress, rose to fame through her roles in the soap opera "The Young and the Restless" and the blockbuster "The Flash".

Childhood and Adolescence

The future star was born in August 1995 to Colombian immigrants living in Boston. She lived there until age ten when, after her parents' divorce, she moved back to Colombia with her mother, Samira Calle. But within two years, mother and daughter had moved back to Boston.

Money was tight, so they lived in a friend's basement. That's why Sasha's mother jumped at a relative's offer to move to Hollywood, Florida.

Sasha once again had to adapt to a new school. To get up to speed, she took extra classes and studied online. She found her escape in the arts: she loved music and performing on stage. She even won a school singing competition dressed as Vanessa Hudgens's character from "High School Musical".

Soon after, her mother remarried a man named Kevin, giving Sasha a younger brother, Jacob. She barely remembers her biological father—he disappeared from their lives. But she has a great relationship with her stepfather.

After graduating high school, Sasha moved to Los Angeles and enrolled at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Though she originally wanted to be a singer and took vocal lessons at the academy, she graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Performing Arts.

Acting Career

Sasha Calle's film career began with minor roles in American series and short films: "18 minutes", "Social Awkwardness", "Wild Tiger", "White Boots", "Last Stop". But the pay from these gigs was so low that she had to crash with friends and pick up side jobs – first waiting tables, then working the front desk at an upscale sports club.

She broke through in 2018 when she scored the role of Lola Rosales on the long-running soap "The Young and the Restless." This role earned her a nomination for a Daytime Emmy Award in 2020. Her last episode aired on May 14, 2021.

But her real breakout moment came in 2023 with "The Flash," where she brought Kara Zor-El – better known as Supergirl – to life. Sasha beat out 400 other actresses for the part, making history as the first Latina Supergirl – something she's incredibly proud of. "She's a much tougher and grittier Supergirl than you're used to seeing," DC Studios co-director James Gunn said about the character.

Here's the crazy part: when Calle auditioned at Warner Bros, she had no clue what project she was even trying out for. Even when she signed on the dotted line, she still didn't know what character she'd be playing. All she knew for sure was that she'd need to cut her hair. When director Andres Muschietti broke the news over video call about which character she'd landed, her emotional reaction instantly went viral.

In interviews, Calle has made it clear she'd love to bring the character back for a solo film. Especially with all the buzz about a potential "Supergirl" series based on the "Woman of Tomorrow" comics. Calle confirmed she's sat down with DC Studios execs about it, though she's keeping the details under wraps. "I hope to continue playing Supergirl. I love her so much, I feel a connection with her," the actress stated.

"The Flash" didn't deliver the box office numbers Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Studios, Double Dream, and Disco Factory were hoping for. There was talk that Sasha might take over from Henry Cavill's Superman, but after the film's disappointing performance, the studio opted to reboot the entire cinematic universe – effectively ending Calle's chances of returning as Supergirl.

Sasha Calle's Personal Life

Sasha Calle keeps her personal life under wraps and appears to be single. Photos of a young man named Aaron used to pop up regularly on her social media, but whether they were just friends or something more remains unclear.

In the few interviews she's given, Sasha has admitted she puts her career before her personal life. According to her social media accounts, she spends her spare time with her family. She adores her younger brother Jacob and always speaks about him with affection to her followers. Fun fact: she actually picked out his name when he was born.

Sasha also spends a lot of time on her music. She plays the guitar, composes songs, and records them in a professional recording studio.
