Arlene Sorkin brought her comic timing and style to her role as Calliope on Days of our Lives from 1984 until 1990, and she returned to the role in 1992, 2001, and 2006. In 2020, she made her last performance appearance.
In Calliope’s first moments on DAYS, she was creating a dress for Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley) while working for Liz Curtis (Gloria Loring) at her clothes store. Calliope’s infinite assortment of bizarre and imaginative headwear became one of her defining characteristics.
