Eliana Alexander

One of the first things you notice about ELIANA ALEXANDER is the contagious energy she exudes to anyone in her presence. She lives her life by two simple mantras: never do anything half-willed and if you don't know something learn it. The latter is also her ultimate personal challenge and perhaps one of the driving forces behind her success as an Alma Award-winning actress and professional dancer, singer and choreographer. Best known to television audiences for her popular recurring role on Sony/Tri-Star’s popular Spanish language series, Angeles. Eliana has also attracted a following when she recurred as the Forrester Nurse on CBS-TV’s top-rated daytime drama, Bold & Beautiful. She was thrilled when she earned her second and third nomination for the movie of the week, The Elian Gonzalez Story and the feature film, My Father’s Love. 

Eliana’s other known credits include: La Llorona, A Stranger’s Kiss, The Great Assault, Mi Vida Loca, Moment of Truth, How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer. Her guest television appearances include: Mad TV, Beverly Hills, 90210, Perfect Strangers, Foto Novelas, in which she earned her first Alma Award. 

As a thespian in the theater she has worked in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Castro and the Pitcher and DAWGS, in which she recorded the cast album. 

Eliana is thrilled to be a part of the cast of Madam Marina and gives her thanks and appreciation to Katrina Elias for giving her such a wonderful opportunity to shine in the role of Marina. It is a role she’ll always remember.
