Biography
Deborah Raffin is the daughter of 1940s cinema actress
Trudy Marshall. A model in her teens, Raffin turned to films in the early '70s, projecting an image of easily outraged innocence. Her largest film assignments included the starring role in
Jacqueline Susann's
Once Is Not Enough (1977) and as the (literally) bedeviled heroine in
The Sentinel (1977). She also played
Goldie Hawn's part in the weekly television version of
Foul Play (1981) and was prominently cast in several made-for-TV movies, as well as the 1988 miniseries Noble House. While her acting career has not been spectacular, Deborah Raffin has managed a successful book-on-tape service called Dove Audio, and was co-producer and co-writer of the 1993 feature film
Morning Glory. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
