Since childhood, Elena dreamed of a stage, however, as a ballerina. But, despite the efforts, the girl was not accepted to the choreographic school, and she began to study at a comprehensive school with in-depth study of the English language.

After school Koreneva becomes a student at the Boris Shchukin Higher Theater School, and then enters the troupe of Galina Volchek's Sovremennik Theater. Later, the actress played on the stages of the Moscow Drama Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, the Konstantin Stanislavsky Theater and even in the Australian theater in the city of Peter.

In 1982, Elena immigrates to the United States. There she took university courses in a variety of programs, studied French and improved English. The star of Soviet cinema also had a chance to work as a waitress in several restaurants, and this was done not at all because of material difficulties, but in the fight against depression, because of which Koreneva decided to leave her homeland.

The actress returned to Russia in 1993, again began to act in films, play in performances, write books. Elena Alekseevna also graduated from the Higher Directing Courses and shot several short films based on her own scripts, including Chopin's Nocturne and Lucy and Grisha.

As a student, she starred in the melodrama "Sentimental Romance", the musical "Romance of Lovers" and the film adaptation of the story "Asya" by Ivan Turgenev. After these projects, the actress became recognizable and loved by Soviet audiences.

In exile, Elena starred in the drama Mary's Beloved with Nastassja Kinski and the crime comedy Homer and Eddie with Whoopi Goldberg.

Upon her return to her homeland, Koreneva again became a sought-after actress. Especially a lot of women are invited in the XXI century to various television series. The family action-packed melodrama "Sisters of the Blood" and the thriller "Dead. Alive. Dangerous".

Do not ignore the role of Nina Preobrazhenskaya in the crime film "Leningrad 46" and Tamara Vasilievna in the everyday story "The Weak Woman".

Prior to that, Elena appeared in Yegor Konchalovsky's crime film "Roses for Elsa", where she played the role of the main character's mother. The director himself played the episodic role of an old woman near the entrance.

And she also reincarnated as the mother of the family in the drama Boris Godunov by Vladimir Mirzoev. The film is based on the plot of the tragedy of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, but the director transferred the story to our time. As a result, the tape appeared in two nominations for the Nika award, but did not receive one.

On the set of the musical melodrama "Romance of Lovers" Elena Koreneva met the director Andrei Konchalovsky. Feelings flared up between them and an office romance began, which lasted about three years.

However, at that moment Konchalovsky was married to a Frenchwoman Vivian. He planned to go abroad. Later Koreneva said that marrying her was not part of the director's plans.

And at the beginning of 1982, the actress came to visit with her friends Alexander Abdulov and Leonid Yarmolnik to a familiar foreigner and there she met her future husband. The chosen one was an American citizen Kevin Moss, a teacher of the Russian language and a specialist in Slavic studies and Slavic folklore. A couple of months later, Kevin proposed to her, and in September the couple left for America.

In a foreign country, Elena felt fine, her depression passed, which began in her homeland due to the pressure of the special services and some internal rejection of theatrical activities. But the marriage with Kevin did not turn out to be reliable and lasting. Due to the circumstances, which some media outlets explain by the bisexuality of Koreneva's husband, they broke up. The artist herself recalled that it was difficult to "drag" a person to her side. But, despite this, the former spouses remained friends.

After that, the actress's personal life attracted media attention. Elena twice entered into relationships with bisexual men. Then one got married, and the other became a full-fledged homosexual.

Just after breaking up with her husband Koreneva began to work as a waitress in the Russian Samovar restaurant. There she met Joseph Brodsky and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

The actress lived in New York for several more years, and then returned to Moscow.

At home, fate brought Elena together with a friend of her youth, actor Andrei Tashkov. At that time, he was married to Elena Skorokhodova, but when the marriage cracked, Koreneva and Tashkov began to live in a civil union. The actors stayed together for about five years, but later, maintaining friendly relations, they parted and each took on their own lives.

The actress has no children. In a marriage with her first husband, she was not ready for the birth of a child and did not want to give birth in America. And then age took its toll.

Elena Koreneva is the author of three autobiographical books, in which, with her inherent humor and an unusual look at many things, she talks about the years she lived.

Meetings with them were filmed and then posted on the Web as compromising evidence.

The picture caused mixed reviews. However, Koreneva received the Nika award in 2017 for her supporting role.

Then Elena Koreneva appeared in the comedy series "Filfak" and in the detective serial film "Excellent student".
