Her mother, Arletha Neal, played a pivotal role in her success, consistently providing unwavering support and driving her to numerous talent shows and recitals. As Elise's passion for performance grew, she made the bold decision to relocate to New York, where she quickly secured roles in various off-Broadway productions and musical revivals. Her sights were set on conquering the Great White Way, but she ultimately chose to take a chance on the West Coast, migrating to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.

Born with a natural flair for entertainment, Elise's mother, Arletha Neal, acquiesced to her daughter's persistent pleas to enroll her in dance class at the age of six. This marked the beginning of Elise's remarkable journey, which would eventually lead her to become a world-renowned actress.

Elise has also made headlines for her remarkable physical appearance, defying the conventional standards of aging.

In addition to her acting accomplishments, Elise is now taking on a new challenge as the executive producer of a fitness show, partnering with Loud TV, the production company behind The Biggest Loser.
