Over the years, Cristina Raines appeared on the covers of several magazines. When she became the star of the popular television soap Flamingo Road, the lovely face of the actress was in demand for TV guide-style publications all over North America. Here is a prime example (from 1982, right before the show was unfortunately cancelled):

Cristina Raines sings to Mark Harmon




On Flamingo Road, Cristina Raines played "saloon singer" Lane Ballou and in real life she dabbled in singing a bit. Here's a clip of her singing to Mark Harmon on Flamingo Road and hey, he seems to like it!

The first video is taken from the VHS sourced American TV version and the second is taken from a foreign language digital broadcast with the English audio grafted in.



Cristina Raines talks Lane Ballou

Here's a quick news item from early 1982 in which Cristina Raines discusses Lane Ballou, her character from the TV series Flamingo Road. Flamingo Road began life as a 1942 novel written by Robert Wilder and was made into a film in 1949. The article indicates that the Lane Ballou of the television show is more similar to how the character was portrayed in the book, rather than Joan Crawford's cinematic interpretation.

Cristina Raines surprised by Flamingo Road's renewal in 1981

Here's a newspaper article from summer 1981 which features quotes from Cristina Raines about her TV show, Flamingo Road. The piece also includes quotes by a minister who had been threatening a boycott of the show because he and his followers felt it was too racy. Both the actress and the minister were surprised to find that that Flamingo Road had been renewed for a second season on NBC, since the ratings of the first season of the show had fluctuated so much.

And, yes, this article was transcribed on cristinaraines.net but here is the actual article for you to take a look at:
