Biography
A crisp October morning in 1888 brought Christine Rayner into the bustle of Holborn, London; by the time she left the stage of life eighty-four years later in the sea air of Exmouth, Devon, she had etched her name into early British cinema. Audiences remember her for the longing glances she exchanged in Comin’ Thro’ the Rye (1923), the moral fire she carried through The Christian (1915), and the wry charm she lent to Kipps (1921).
