The most interesting detail about Cassidy Boesch has nothing to do with her marriage. In her early twenties, she co-wrote a documentary filmed in South Africa that featured Nelson Mandela as a subject. Her father, Philip Boesch, a prominent Los Angeles attorney, served as executive producer. The film, All the Sins of the Past, was released in the United States in May 2010, runs 29 minutes, and holds an 8.0 rating on IMDB.
It rarely comes up in anything written about her.
That gap, between what she has actually built and what gets reported, is the reason this profile exists.

The Family She Comes From
The Boesch household is not what most celebrity-adjacent profiles look like.
Her father, Philip Boesch, is one of the more prominent litigation attorneys in Los Angeles. He founded The Boesch Law Group in Santa Monica in 2000, and his career record includes nationally significant cases. Among them: a $475 million judgment against the J. Howard Marshall II estate and an $89 million judgment against E. Pierce Marshall, both obtained for his client Anna Nicole Smith. His executive producer credit on All the Sins of the Past puts him directly in that project alongside Cassidy, not just as a supportive parent.
Her mother, Vivian Boesch, runs The Venice Beach House, a boutique hotel in Venice Beach, California.
Her older brother, Brennan Boesch, was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the third round of the 2006 MLB Draft. He debuted in the major leagues on April 23, 2010, and was named AL Rookie of the Month for both May and June that season, finishing fifth in the AL Rookie of the Year vote. Over six MLB seasons with the Tigers, Yankees, Angels, and Reds, he posted career totals of a .250 batting average, 48 home runs, and 195 RBI. He retired from professional baseball in April 2017.
Cassidy came from a family built around serious professional achievement across three separate fields. She found a fourth, and spent two decades making it her own.
A Career Built Long Before the Spotlight
Cassidy Boesch’s work with children and families started years before she married Sam Page. Her staff biography on The Playgroup House’s own website maps the progression.
She taught health and English at Ulysses S. Grant High School in the San Fernando Valley through HealthCorps, the non-profit founded by Dr. Mehmet Oz. While working there, she created the Sister Circle Club, a support programme built specifically for teenage mothers.
In 2011, she enrolled at the University of Southern California to complete a Master’s degree in Marriage, Family and Child Therapy. After that, she built clinical experience at The Maple Counseling Center’s Adolescent and Child Therapy Program, through private practice, and by running infant Mommy and Me groups and toddler preschool prep programmes at Early Childhood Development Associates in West Hollywood. She also taught in the four-year-old classroom at Crestwood Hills Preschool in Los Angeles.
The South Africa documentary predates all of that. All the Sins of the Past was produced through Allport Production Studios on an estimated budget of $75,000. Co-written by Cassidy and Paul Petersen, produced by Chris M. Allport, and with her father Philip Boesch as executive producer, the film was shot on location in South Africa and features Nelson Mandela among its subjects. It holds an 8.0 rating on IMDB.
Writing a film about South African communities in her early twenties, then spending years inside counselling centres working with teenagers and mothers, then building a school around early childhood development is a coherent arc. It just does not get reported as one.
The Playgroup House
The Playgroup House is registered with the California Secretary of State as a general corporation, officially filed on March 16, 2020. Cassidy holds the positions of Director, CEO, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary.
The school operates two campuses on 26th Street in Santa Monica, two blocks apart from each other:
| Campus | Address | Ages Served | Programme |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Campus | 1029 26th St | 2-year-olds | Relationship-driven drop-off programme |
| North Campus | 1249 26th St | 3 to 5-year-olds | Play-based preschool (3s, 4s, Pre-K) |
| Both campuses | Both locations | 12 to 24 months | Baby Group, caregiver-present, held outdoors |
The curriculum, as described on the school’s own website, is child-led and built around each child’s interests and questions rather than a fixed lesson plan. The school’s stated philosophy: “the early years are a sacred time of wonder, exploration, and rapid growth.”
The Playgroup House Instagram, @the_play_group, has around 1,675 followers. Cassidy’s personal account, @cassidykateb, carries around 6,100.
Neither figure belongs to someone managing a public profile.
How Cassidy Boesch Met Sam Page
Sam Page, whose legal name is Samuel L. Elliott, graduated from Princeton University with a degree in ecology and evolutionary biology before pursuing acting. He is best known for playing Greg Harris in Mad Men and Richard Hunter across five seasons of The Bold Type, with further appearances in House of Cards, Gossip Girl, and multiple Hallmark Channel productions.
The meeting is documented entirely through his own account. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Page described the night in full:
“She was the first person I met when I walked in the door, and we talked all night, and I ended up driving her home because her friend wanted to leave. I hadn’t been looking for a relationship, but I recognized the greatest person in my life when I saw her.”
— Sam Page, Cosmopolitan
Neither had planned to attend the party. Cassidy was brought by a friend with her own reasons for going. Page had made a collective promise with a group of friends to stay single for the summer, which lasted about two weeks.
He also described how meeting Cassidy changed his thinking on marriage:
“I didn’t mind the concept of having a partner for the rest of my life but I wasn’t sure about the whole legal aspect of it. But when I met my wife, I knew immediately that my life would be very heavily impacted by this woman.”
— Sam Page, Cosmopolitan
They married on November 14, 2014, at a villa outside Santa Barbara, California. Actor Jonathan Bennett, known for Mean Girls, was among the groomsmen. E! News described the weekend as “a really fabulous weekend.” After the wedding, Cassidy legally took the surname Elliott.
Their Children and Life in Pacific Palisades
Sam and Cassidy have three children:
- Logan, born September 27, 2016
- Annabelle and Evie (twin daughters), born August 11, 2018
The family lives in Pacific Palisades, a coastal neighbourhood on the west side of Los Angeles. Their home, a Craftsman-style house built in 2002, was featured in Architectural Digest in August 2020 in a piece by writer Juliet Izon. At the time of the feature, it was their fourth home together, after previously living in Brentwood. The house runs 2,815 square feet across four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with interiors designed by Allie Boesch of Allie Boesch Designs, a family friend who completed the renovation in four months around Sam’s filming schedule.
Cassidy described seeing the house for the first time in that Architectural Digest feature: “I got this instant feel in the front yard. The outside garden was so pretty and the home itself kind of looks like a big tree house, with wooden shingles and lots of greenery.”
The version of Cassidy Boesch that circulates online arrived without her participation. The version she spent two decades building has her name on a two-campus school in Santa Monica, a university degree in family therapy, clinical counselling experience, and an IMDB writing credit from a documentary about post-apartheid South Africa. That version does not come up first in a search. It should.
