Francesca Angelucci Capaldi (born June 8, 2004) is an American actress. She is best known for her roles as Chloe James in the Disney Channel sitcom Dog with a Blog (2012–2015) and Nellie Chambers in the Brat web series Crown Lake (2019–2020).

Capaldi also appeared in The Peanuts Movie (2015), Max 2: White House Hero (2017), and two episodes of How I Met Your Mother (2012).

Life and career

Capaldi was born in La Jolla, California to Anthony and Gina (Angelucci) Capaldi, both of Italian descent. She resides in Carlsbad, California with her parents. 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.

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. 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.

She enjoys playing characters who are funnier, more outgoing versions of herself. She said. “Acting is fun because it’s like you can put on a different character and be someone else, and making someone laugh is like a compliment.” However, at the peak of her career, many people were barging into her private life, such as her schooling and social life. More people started to say that she was spoiled and even complain about her looks. Angry more about her spoiled comments, her parents said she was like all other kids in the world and not treated differently.
