Elena Vladimirovna Metelkina - Soviet and Russian film actress, fashion model, one of the heroines of the "Fashionable Sentence" TV show. She gained the greatest fame thanks to her roles in films based on the works of Kir Bulychev.

Elena Metelkina was born on October 23, 1953 in Moscow in the family of a military engineer. The girl grew up very obedient and quiet, spent a lot of time at home reading, was docile and calm. Elena's father went through the entire war, was a participant in the Battle of Stalingrad, had seven inventions in the field of construction and engineering. 

In the early eighties, Vladimir Metelkin was dragged into a scandal with a waste of funds, and he passed away, hitting himself in the heart with a dirk. After the death of her father, Metelkina began to live permanently with her mother, taking on the responsibilities of the head of the family.

Elena Metelkina twice tried to enter a theater university. The dream of becoming an actress haunted her from early youth, when the girl suddenly turned from an ugly duckling into an attractive young lady. Elena made her first attempt in 1972, when she came to audition for "Pike". The girl did not succeed in entering the theater institute, but she was noticed and offered to act in a movie in a cameo role. So Metelkina made her film debut. She got a small role in the 1973 film called "Shores".

Elena did not lose hope of getting an acting education and a year later tried to enter VGIK. The girl failed the audition again, after which she decided to work as a fashion model. In 1980, the film "Through the Thorns to the Stars" was released, in which Metolkina had the main role. She got into the frame thanks to her extraordinary appearance.

At a time when the filmmakers were looking for an actress for the role of an alien girl, Elena's photos were adorned with fashion catalogs of clothes. For several years, the girl has become a successful fashion model. Her unusual appearance was noticed and invited to audition. After several months of considering options, the creators of the picture opted for Metelkina. Thus, the model got the role of Niya, which brought her fame. The film was watched by more than twenty million people, and the young actress began to be recognized in the subway, on the street, in the store.

On the set, Elena made friends with Igor Vsevolodovich Mozheiko, who is better known as Kira Bulychev. Three years after the release of the film "Through the thorns to the stars" Metelkina again got a role in the film adaptation based on the works of the famous Soviet writer.

Elena played Polina, an employee of the Institute of Time in the film "Guest from the Future". She was the very distant and unattainable beauty who appeared to take Alice in her time. The film "Guest from the Future" was released in 1984, in the same year Elena had another notable work in the cinema. She starred in Evgeny Gerasimov's comedy "Very Important Person". 

The actress worked on the same set with Yuri Nazarov, Nina Ruslanova, Vyacheslav Nevinny and Nikolai Parfenov. It is interesting that Evgeny Gerasimov, who directed this picture, also starred in a small role in the film "Guest from the Future", he played the robot Werther.

The further acting career of Elena Metelkina did not work out. She appeared in a small role in the film "Touch" in 1992, in an episode of the drama "War" in 2002, starred in the short film "Simple Women's Happiness" in 2013.

Elena was a very successful model and fashion model of the mid-seventies. It was the photographs in the catalogs of knitted and sewn clothes that became her pass to the world of cinema. Metelkina's father was against his daughter becoming a fashion model, but after several unsuccessful attempts to enter the theater institute, Elena got a job at the All-Union House of Fashion Models.

At that time, the girl worked as a librarian, but her height and weight corresponded to the model parameters, and her appearance was original. Elena was noticed and invited to work as a freelance model for the shooting of Models of the Season magazine. The girl quickly got a taste and found a place for a fashion model in the GUM showroom.

For filming in the film "Through Thorns to the Stars" she had to give up not only hair, but also from work, she resigned from the department store without regret. After completing the painting, Elena returned to the profession of a fashion model. Metelkina got a job at the Moscow Model House.

After the restructuring, Elena moved to work in the showroom of Mila Nadtochiy, but the project turned out to be commercially unprofitable. During Elena's work as a fashion model, she often had to appear for magazines and books on knitting and sewing. Her photo in her youth can be found in the many times republished Soviet book "The ABC of Knitting".

During filming in 1980, Elena met a young man named Sergei in the Crimea. She was fascinated by the gallant courtship and very soon fell in love. After the end of filming, the girl returned to Moscow with a gentleman. She confronted her parents with the fact that she was going to get married.

Elena and Sergei signed without delay. The young husband had a daughter from a previous relationship and was unhappy when Metelkina became pregnant. Elena refused offers to have an abortion, and disagreements began in the family. The pregnancy was difficult, the woman was kept for a long time. During this time, the husband found himself a new beloved. After the birth of his son Alexander, the husband finally left the family.

Parting with her husband was aggravated by the fact that he turned out to be a marriage swindler and tried to sue the Metolkins for their apartment. During this period, the model's father was involved in a scandal with the waste of funds and, unable to withstand the pressure, committed suicide. The court proceedings went on for several years, but in the end the apartment was defended, and the marriage was recognized as valid. 

The next time Elena heard about her husband only in 1996, when law enforcement officers came to her house. They asked for a certificate stating that the tenant was discharged from the apartment, and did not expand on the reason for their appearance.

Once Elena turned to a fortune-teller, as the pain from her husband's betrayal did not subside for a long time. She was told that her former husband had died a terrible death. Elena realized that she could share the fate of her husband if they had not parted. 

The difficult life tests of the fashion model drove her into despondency and pushed her to search for answers to eternal questions. Metelkina became a very religious person. First, she visited the temple, then went on pilgrimage to holy places, and later found a spiritual mentor in the person of Father Mikhail Titov.

Elena Metolkina's son graduated from the Institute of International Relations. But to work in his specialty, he preferred the career of a car mechanic. Alexander dreams of starting his own business.

Elena Metelkina believes that her personal life is not yet a written chapter in the book of her life, and she will still meet a decent Christian with whom she will be happy.

Elena Vladimirovna could work as a fashion model all her life, but her profession has outlived its usefulness due to the massive appearance of ready-to-wear stores. The woman graduated from her modeling career at the age of 46. 

Metelkina worked as a secretary-assistant, a saleswoman of clothes and shoes, an educator at a boarding school, a client manager and even a cleaner. According to some sources, Metelkina now works in an icon shop and sings in the choir of a parish church in Moscow.
