BIO

Caldwell fulfilled her dream of becoming a showgirl and traveled to Europe to work at the Moulin Rouge. Upon returning to North America she settled in Toronto, Canada and began working on screen appearing first as "Mother" in a 1988 episode of T. and T. Through the 1990's she appeared in numerous television movies and cinema releases including as a receptionist in 1993's Life with Mikey, Mrs. Wallace in 1997's Murder at 1600, Paulette Mercer in 1998's Blind Faith. On stage she was nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award in 1997 for her part in the musical Sophisticated Ladies.



In 1998 she secured her longest lasting screen role, that of Asia Franklin in both seasons of the TV series Little Men based on Louisa May Alcott's sequel to Little Women. It debuted on CTV and the family-friendly PAX TV.

Her other screen work continued including a pioneering bedroom love scene opposite cis actor and Academy Award winner Louis Gossett Jr. in 1999's Love Songs, and parts in Disney's family adventure The Cheetah Girls and Shall We Dance. Other notable roles on stage included in the original Broadway company of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story in 1990 and a production of Anything That Moves in 2001. She was also in the TV special The Book of Negroes in 2015.
