Following her first performance in Adios Naboelk and at her drama classes, she was discovered by Manuel Moron, an actor who was so impressed by her talent that he introduced Elena to his agent.

As a matter of fact, Elena ultimately signed for a role in 'Africa' and won the role of a young girl, Moron's agent was looking to cast in the film.

Then from one film to another, Elena started appearing in tons of movies.

Anaya, however, earned her first international success after she appeared as Aleera, a sexy and wicked wife of Dracula in the film 'Van Helsing', that was released in 2004. 

The actress had the opportunity to perform alongside Hollywood A-Listers Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, and Richard Roxburgh in the Universal Pictures hit film.

After winning multiple film Awards and nominations in Spain, Elena Anaya once again returned to Hollywood to help Justin Timberlake bring sexy back in his 2006 music video.

Speaking of the American singer, the actress said in an interview: "When we moved [into] the interior locations, Justin started dancing. He’s the best dancer on Earth, and even though I loved the video clip, he danced even better than what we see. When you’re acting, it’s tiring, and if you have to dance 17 hours a day, oh my goodness! But he has an energy that pulls everyone’s energy up."

Then recently in 2017, the picky actress was seen under a villainous mask as Doctor Poison in Wonder Woman and appeared a month later in the 2017 Argentine drama film called 'The Summit'.
