Celestine Rae is an actress and writer with a background in classical dance. Born and raised in Philadelphia to an Italian and German American mother and African American father, Celestine began her artistic career as a dancer, training in modern and ballet technique. Her passion for dance quickly grew into a love for acting as she was nicknamed 'Face' by choreographer, David St. Charles, for her passion and expression while performing in his narrative ballets. After graduating from Temple University with a B.A. degree in English, Celestine immediately relocated to New York City to pursue her career as an actor full time. She trained under Terry Knickerbocker at the William Esper Studio. She has also appeared in ads and editorials for 'Allure,' 'VIBE,' and 'Essence" magazines. Hide
