Elena Satine was born on November 24, 1987, in Tbilisi, the capital of the Republic of Georgia (then a part of the USSR). Her father works in the textile industry and her mother was an opera singer.

2. She is a well-trained pianist
Elena plays the kind of notes you would love to hear every day. The actress grew up having a strong interest in music. In fact, music was her first career choice until somehow along with the line acting took over. She must have developed her classical pianist skill during her time at the New York Professional Performing Arts School or elsewhere.
Elena might have not won a Grammy like classical pianist and singer Alicia Keys, but she has released a three-song EP titled Denial in 2008 and sang part of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin'” and Verdi’s “Va Pensiero” on the 2008 “Triple Threat” episode of Cold Case.

3. Elena Satine has starred in many TV series
Elena made her screen debut in 2008 in the TV series “Gemini Division” when she played the character of Nadia. This was a major opportunity to convince producers that all the accolades she won as a kid were not a fluke and Elena flourished on her first job. More opportunities came her way as she starred in other TV series, performing minor roles mostly.
Then in the year 2012, she landed a main role in the TV series “Magic City” as Judi Silver. She was to portray the character of a hooker and since she has not done the job before and considering the expectations that were required of him, she carried out extensive research on the “Queen of Pinups” Bettie Page and Judith Exner who was the alleged mistress of President John F. Kennedy. The series “Magic City” turned out to be the series that expanded her fame.

4. She is happily married
Elena Satine was not in the dating league that long before her perfect man came, saying the right words. The actress was said to have dated Actor Josh Bowman in 2011 but the relationship ended after a while.
