BIO

While at Yale, Crowe-Legacy appeared in productions of Three Sisters, Seven Guitars, and Our Lady of 121st Street. She performed in the Playwrights Horizons premiere of If Pretty Hurts Ugly Must Be a Muhfucka by Tori Sampson and the Off-Broadway premiere of BLKS by Aziza Barnes in 2019. That year, she made her screen debut as Elise Johnson, the daughter of Bumpy Johnson as played by Forest Whitaker, in Godfather of Harlem on Epix.



In 2021, Crowe-Legacy featured in Passing, a film adaptation of the Nella Larsen novel of the same name directed by Rebecca Hall. She also served as the replacement for the role of Kaneisha in that year's Broadway production of Slave Play, a role she had originated during the initial 2017 reading of the play as she attended Yale alongside playwright Jeremy O. Harris.

Crowe-Legacy appeared in two episodes of the 2022 Apple TV+ series WeCrashed as Leslie, a WeWork employee. She performed in the original cast of another Tori Sampson play, This Land Was Made, at the Vineyard Theatre in 2023. That fall, she portrayed Hermione in a production of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale at the Folger Theatre in Washington, DC.
