While attending Rutgers, Calista was allowed to perform on the main stage which normally was reserved for juniors and seniors. She graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1988. From 1989-1997, she lived in New York City where she worked as a waitress and aerobics instructor although she did receive work in television and on Broadway during this time period.

In 1997, she auditioned for the starring role in David E. Kelly’s FOX TV series “Ally McBeal”. She earned a Golden Globe Award and appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, June 1998, as the issue discussed the evolution of feminism.
