Lisa went to Agoura High School where she studied together with several future notable personalities, including actress Heather Graham, model Beverly Peele, and the filmmaker Shane Stanley who is the creator of Visual Arts Entertainment. She was initially interested in sports, but her focus shifted to photography when she turned 17. Marie matriculated in the early ’90s – it’s unclear whether she went to college or not.

She also likes attending parties and celebrity events together with her husband – she was spotted at a costume party together with Elwes in 2021, and posted their pictures on Instagram.
Career
Kubikoff made her film debut in 1985 with her appearance in the movie “Future Hunter,” then took a break from acting, and made a comeback in 1993 in the Erik Greenberg Anjou-written and directed thriller film “The Cool Surface,” which starred Teri Hatcher, Steve Tyler and Robert Patrick. The movie follows the story of a Los Angeles author who falls in love with his neighbor, who is an actress.
In 2003, Kubikoff contributed to the David Eric Brenner-written and directed film “Rent Control” as the still photographer and associate producer. The film stars Carmen Electra, Ryan Browning and Melissa J. Hart and is about a young couple who move to an apartment owned by aunt Agatha, who has recently died – the pair has to keep her death a secret.
Marie’s next role was in 2003’s crime drama, “Wonderland,” which was directed by James Cox and starred Kate Bosworth, Val Kilmer and Lisa Kudrow.
Personal Life
Lisa first met Cary Elwes in 1991 at a chili cooking contest in Malibu, California, and they were instantly attracted to each other. They soon began dating, and announced their engagement in 1997, but didn’t tie the knot on 25 June 2005. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Dominique Elwes on 24 April 2007, born in the Los Angeles-based Cedars Sinai Medical Center. It’s widely believed that Lisa retired from acting to become a housewife after the birth of their daughter.
She completed her 7th grade recently, and her mother took to Instagram, writing ‘Congratulations to our darling Dominique for finishing the 7th grade in the midst of such adversity… We Love you and are so proud of you.’
Marie seemingly shares a good relationship with her in-laws. She is currently residing in Malibu together with her family; their fancy home has a Moroccan and Andalusian-inspired garden that overlooks the Pacific. When her husband was asked during an interview why he preferred the Moroccan theme, he revealed that ‘I spent a lot of my childhood in Southern Spain, and my father used to take us to Morocco a lot. So I created a space that reminded me of my childhood.’
