Though known to millions as Celia "CeCe" Rhodes on Gossip Girl (2007) and for her extensive film and TV credits, Caroline Lagerfelt has established a distinguished career in international theatre and Broadway. The recipient of Outer Critics Circle and Obie Awards, as well as a Drama Desk nomination, her career began under the auspices of theatrical legends Eva Le Gallienne and Sir Ralph Richardson.

She appeared in nine Broadway shows for some of the most celebrated directors of the English-speaking world, among them Sir Peter Hall ("Betrayal," opposite Raul Julia and Roy Scheider), Sir John Gielgud ("The Constant Wife," with Ingrid Bergman and a then-unknown Sigourney Weaver), Harold Pinter, Cyril Ritchard, Mike Nichols, Jerry Zaks and Abe Burrows.
