Celestine Rae movie list
Celestine Rae was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to an Italian/German American mother and African American father who encouraged her creativity and self expression at a very young age. As a child, Celestine fell in love with the art of dance and it was on stage that she found herself and her calling. Her passion for performing grew into a love for acting as she was nicknamed 'Face' by choreographer and former Alvin Ailey company dancer, David St. Charles, for her deep emotional connection and passion while performing in his narrative ballets.
Celestine trained under Terry Knickerbocker at The William Esper Studio's Meisner Conservatory Program. Her strong presence on film and television partnered with her grace and sensitivity gives way to her ability to soar in both leading and character roles.
