Early life
Sasha Calle was born in Boston, Massachusetts.[6][7] She is of Colombian descent.[8] She has a younger brother.[9] She and her mother moved to Colombia when she was ten and moved back to the U.S. after two years.[9] At age 17, Calle relocated from Miami to Los Angeles to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, from which she graduated in 2017 and obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.[7][10]
Career
In September 2018, Calle joined the cast of the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless as chef Lola Rosales.[4] She appeared in over 270 episodes and was nominated for Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Performer in a Drama Series in 2020 for her performance.[7][11]
In her feature film debut, Calle portrayed Kara Zor-El / Supergirl in the superhero film The Flash, set in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).[12][13] She was the first Latina actress to play the role.[7][14] Released in June 2023, The Flash received mixed reviews, but Calle received praise for her performance as Supergirl.[15][16] The combined factors of the film's poor financial performance (largely attributed to lead actor Ezra Miller's legal troubles), Warner Bros. replacing the leadership of DC Studios, and the impending reboot of the DCEU in the form of the DC Universe (DCU) meant her intended multi-project presence never came to be, and the role of Supergirl was ultimately recast with Milly Alcock for the next project featuring the character, the DCU film Supergirl (2026), in addition to an uncredited cameo in the preceding film Superman (2025).[17]
Calle next starred in the drama film On Swift Horses, which was released in September 2024 to generally favorable reviews.[18] In 2026, she appeared in the Netflix film The Rip.[19]
Personal life
In a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Calle mentioned that she is queer.[17]
