Elena's illustrious career has spanned over a century, with a filmography boasting over 100 movies and television shows, ranging from modestly budgeted independent films to colossal blockbusters with a combined worldwide box office total of over $10 billion. This versatile actress has had the privilege of speaking four different languages, showcasing her impressive range by effortlessly wielding a sword and performing daring backflips. Her diverse repertoire includes portrayals of a secretary, a witch, a drug addict, and an assassin, to name a few. However, it is arguably her most unforgettable experience – being suspended from a helicopter while in the arms of Spider-Man, flying through downtown Atlanta – that stands out as the most extraordinary feat of her career.
Born to a German mother and Spanish father in Germany, Elena's early life was marked by a passion for performing. As a child, she took to the stage in productions such as "Return to Neverland" and "The Nutcracker." Following her graduation from Cornell University, Elena pursued further education at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in New York and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
Elena made her feature film debut as an actress in the highly anticipated sequel "Catching Fire," the second installment of "The Hunger Games" franchise, where she brought to life the character of Cecelia, the tribute from District 8. Since then, she has shared the screen with notable actors such as Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell, and Tim Roth, and has had the opportunity to work alongside Hollywood heavyweights Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone, Chris Pratt, and Gerard Butler. Elena's television appearances have included roles on AMC's "The Walking Dead," CBS's "NCIS: New Orleans," and FOX's "Sleepy Hollow."
