Elsa Raven

For almost nine decades, Elsa Rabinowitz, who is better known as Elsa Raven, was recognized as a veteran character actress in the industry. With multiple movie appearances in TV shows, Raven is without a doubt one of the most recognizable character actresses. Among her list of movie and TV appearances are Back to the Future, Titanic, and In the Line of Fire. Raven had been in Hollywood’s limelight ever since 1970.

She was never given the opportunity to play the lead role, but her arm-length CV was the envy of many. Despite her many minor roles in film, Raven is still best known for her memorable — although  fleeting — part in Back to the Future as the “Save the clock tower” lady. She was entertaining the world until the age of 91. Raven would finally rest on November 2, 2020, having lived a good life filled with smiles, recognition, and contentment.
