Calle Walton was born on March 7, 2000. She was born and raised in Peterborough, a city situated in the U.S. state of New Hampshire. She finished her high school education at South Meadow School, Peterborough. Walton was not born blind, but rather lost her sight at the age of six. Calle Walton’s parents are Iain Walton and Tracey Bean. Walton’s parents have been supportive and worked hard to make her comfortable through her health struggles.
She attended W. Ross Macdonald School, where she developed an interest in dance and theatre. She loved to perform, but after losing her vision, she became dejected and lost her zeal.

Calle Walton’s Career
Walton showed an early interest in interior and architectural design. When she learned that she had lost her vision, she had to give up her dreams of pursuing a career in these sectors. Instead, she made the decision to pursue a teaching profession, concentrating on braille or kindergarten education.
Walton’s passion for acting remained strong despite her decision to give up on her aspirations of becoming an interior designer or architect. Her first experience on stage came when she took part in a kindergarten play of “Goldilocks”. Over the years, she appeared in other school productions, including “Peter Pan” and “Andrew Wendy,” “The Jungle Book,” and “Charlotte’s Web.”
Calle gave up on her dream of becoming an actress after losing her vision. Just 10 days into the new school year, however, her luck changed when her principal revealed that a casting company was looking for a blind girl for a TV show. She took advantage of the chance and went to the audition for the part of “Chloe,” a teenage blind girl in the television series In the Dark.
The show’s makers hired a blind writer and had Walton’s scripts written in braille for easier comprehension in order to help her cope. Walton said that the character she plays in the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript is very different from the one she played in the television series.
How Did She Go Blind?
She started having eye pains in the third grade, which led to a trip to the doctor. Her optic nerve had a tumour, which was diagnosed as the source of the inflammation in her eyes. She was given medication by the doctors, which she took for eight years. Sadly, her vision did not get better over time—instead, it got worse.
She obtained a new diagnosis that conflicted with the earlier ones as her senior year came to a conclusion. Her cancer was determined to be a congenital abnormality by the medical professionals. She spent a lot of money getting treatment, but she eventually went blind.
