Eleanor began her life as an actor at the Artist's Theatre School, Ealing before formally training at the New York Film Academy and then The Acting Studio, Inc. New York.

A strong comedic character actor, her roles have included Dorine in an Off-off Broadway production of Tartuffe, Daddy in Violating Uncle Piggy; an unconventionally cast one act play by Judd Lear Silverman as part of the Gallery Players' 10th Annual Black Box New Play Festival, and Sister Pauline in the short spoof Hallelujah More! a playful take on TV cookery shows.

Whilst training she played Gwendolen in The Importance of Being Earnest, Martha in The Children's Hour, and even Sharon Osbourne in the Artist's Theatre School revue, Just the Job.

On her return to London in June 2008 she appeared as Spy in the hilarious new play Liink and Zellda - The Mis-adventure at the Cockpit Theatre, and was able to indulge her love of improvisation in the March London Bites showcase with Stand Up Drama. 

Most recently Eleanor played Annie, a Glaswegian waitress in the pilot episode of The Surprize Cafe directed by Richard Platt at BBC Elstree.
