Elena is the older and unhappy housewife who lived near Christian Grey's childhood home. Anastacia Steele refers to Elena as Mrs. Robinson because she seduced Christian Grey at a very young age.

Talks of the casting always centered to Christian Grey and Anastacia Steele who are the main characters of the trilogy. However, there is one character that is overshadowed by the two. Mrs. Robinson is one of the important characters in the book. Mrs. Robinson introduced the young Christian Grey to the world of BDSM. Mrs. Robinsons disapproves with Anastacia Steele for Christian Grey.

"Fifty Shades of Grey" was a story developed from a Twilight fan fiction originally titled "Master of the Universe." Originally, the piece featured characters named after Stephenie Meyer's characters in Twilight, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan serving as an as an inspiration for manipulative billionaire Christian Grey and sweet and naïve Anastacia Steele.

However, after comments concerning the sexual nature of the material, James removed the story from the fanfiction websites and published it on her own website, FiftyShades.com. The author decided to rewrite the piece as an original piece with the principal characters renamed Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele and shortly prior to its publication withdrew the fan fiction version from her website for mass production.

The British author E.L. James, on the other hand, confirmed that she ruled out Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson among the possible cast for the starring roles for the movie. The author said that casting the Twilight stars is weird.
