A native of St. Petersburg, Russia, Margarita Levieva began the rigorous training program of a competitive gymnast at the age of 3. As a member of the Russian rhythmic gymnastics Olympic team, Levieva continued to train for the next 13 years, winning competitions in Russia and eventually going on to compete in the United States.

When she was 11, Levieva's mother moved her and her twin brother to New York. She later studied economics at NYU. Her true passion, however, had always been acting and she was accepted into the Meisner Training Program at the prestigious William Esper Studio.

Levieva’s feature film credits include "The Invisible," the independent film "Billy’s Choice" and "Noise," starring Tim Robbins, Bridget Moynihan and William Hurt.
