After a youthful career in the New York City Ballet under the guidance of the famed dance-master George Balanchine, Elaine Giftos starred on Broadway, before moving to Hollywood to act in movies and on TV. She has co-starred with Barbra Streisand and Jack Nicholson, with Woody Allen and Gene Wilder, and with Burt Reynolds, among other major stars, in motion pictures. She has starred in over fifty TV series, such as Emmy-winners Ally McBeal (1997), Magnum (1980), Arabesque (1984), Vivre à trois (1976), and the sci-fi cult hit La nouvelle guerre des mondes (1988), as well as starring in many award-winning movies for television.
