In early 2006, actress Caitlin Van Zandt joined the cast of the CBS
soap opera, Guiding Light as Ashlee Wolfe, a part that was initially
only meant for a six episode run. Instead, her character was bumped up
to recurring status and eventually, in 2007 Caitlin joined the cast
full time.
As a child, Caitlin attended "Stagedoor Manor", a theater camp in Loch
Sheldrake, New York, for ten years, along with other future actresses
such as
Natalie Portman, to develop her
acting skills. Then in 2003, at age 18, Van Zandt made her film debut
in the movie "Camp", which was filmed in Loch Sheldrake.
In 2006, Caitlin landed a role on the megahit HBO series,
The Sopranos (1999) where she
played Allegra Marie Sacrimoni. Caitlin is, in fact, no relation to her
Sopranos co-stars Steven and Maureen Van Zandt, although it has often
been reported that she is.
Born and raised in New York City, Caitlin attends Hunter College, where
she is majoring in religion with a minor in psychology.
