Biography

Nina Rae Wayne (born September 18, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American actress.

Career

She first appeared on The Tonight Show in October 1964. Wayne, the younger sister of fellow actress Carol Wayne, started working in television in 1965, first appearing in twelve episodes of the series Camp Runamuck (as Caprice Yeudleman) and in an episode of Bewitched.

The first movie that she appeared in was Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round. She was reportedly cast in Fantastic Voyage, but the lead female role ultimately went to Raquel Welch, launching her successful movie career.
