Biography

[edit]

Rayne was born in Detroit and raised in Northern California.[4] She was of Italian, Scottish, and Irish descent. She attended California State University, Los Angeles.[5] She worked as an extra in mainstream films and television shows prior to her adult film career.[5]

Rayne entered the adult film industry in 2005.[6] Early in her porn career she resided in Santa Monica, California.[5] In April 2015 she announced her official retirement from adult films.[7]

She came out of retirement to shoot her final adult film, Wanted, later that year.[8] She had already promised the film's director, Stormy Daniels, that she would be part of the film six years prior to shooting it.[7] Besides performing, she had also worked in the adult-film industry as a director, producer, and editor.[7]

Rayne was a BDSM lifestyler both on-screen and in her personal life.[9] She owned rabbits and a mule named Zephyr.[7]

Death

[edit]

Rayne collapsed and died at her home in Los Angeles, California, on April 2, 2016. In late June 2016, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner's office announced that her death was caused by an accidental drug overdose through the consumption of a combination of cocaine and alcohol.[3]
