Life and career

[edit]

Capaldi was born in La Jolla, California to Anthony and Gina (née Angelucci) Capaldi, both of Italian descent.[4][5] She resides in Carlsbad, California with her parents.[6] Despite Francesca's choice to act, her parents, Gina Capaldi and Anthony Capaldi, wanted her to feel like a normal child. She began acting with small roles in the Disney Channel Original Series A.N.T. Farm and in the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother, as a 7-year-old Lily, who is played as an adult by Alyson Hannigan. In addition, Capaldi was featured in the pilot for The Goodwin Games. Capaldi also stars in Corbin Bernsen's independent film 3 Day Test and in Dog with a Blog on Disney Channel, her series regular debut. She started her voicing career as the voice of the Little Red-Haired Girl in the 2015 film The Peanuts Movie.[7]

In 2019, Capaldi starred in the web series Crown Lake on Brat TV as Nellie Chambers, a girl who is targeted by an unknown person at a boarding school in 1994. She reprised the role in 2020 in a second season of Crown Lake.[8] In 2022, it was announced that the third season of Crown Lake would be set in present day and that Capaldi would be departing from the show.[9]
