Biography
Raines was born in Manila, Philippines to American parents. She grew up the daughter of a chemical engineer and a dancer. Her paternal grandfather was an immigrant from Colombia and her paternal grandmother was of Swedish and German ancestry, while her mother is of Scotch-Irish descent.[1] She co-starred in the TV mini-series Centennial, a 26-hour epic depicting the history of Colorado. She appeared as Lucinda McKeag-Zendt, a woman who lived in the 1840s through the 1880s and married a Pennsylvania farmer who left for the West. She is probably best known for her role as Lane Ballou in the 1980s prime-time soap opera Flamingo Road.
Other TV credits include: Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Kojak, Fantasy Island, Hotel, The Love Boat, Simon and Simon, Matt Houston, The Fall Guy, T.J. Hooker, Murder She Wrote, Riptide, Highway to Heaven, The Tenth Month, and Moonlighting.
Her film roles include Robert Altman's Nashville, The Sentinel, Nightmares, and The Duellists.
Raines married writer/producer Christopher Crowe in 1986 and she retired from acting in 1992. The couple have two children. After the children reached adulthood, she became a registered nurse, specializing in caring for patients who are undergoing dialysis. While proud of her acting career, she has no desire to return to it.
