Tonight, I would like to adjourn in memory of Elaine Ballace – a talented actress, director, producer and member of the Santa Clarita community.
Elaine began her career in the entertainment industry in 1977 with a role on Hawaii Five-O, launching a journey that would include dozens of film and television appearances over the years.
From comedy to drama, Elaine’s range as an actress was matched only by her creative drive behind the scenes as a producer and director.
In 2019, she brought her signature humor and spirit to life through the creation of The Miss Adventures of Camp Elaine, a project that embodied her passion for storytelling and her love of making people laugh.
Elaine was also passionate about her community, and her two beloved dogs.
Whether on set or in the neighborhood, Elaine had a way of making people feel welcome and appreciated.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her friends, family and colleagues during this difficult time.
