Jeramie Rain was born on August 23, 1948 in Charleston, West Virginia. After appearing on episodes of General Hospital (1963) and The Doctors (1963), she gained international recognition in 1972 for her convincing portrayal of the sadistic Sadie in Wes Craven's controversial debut film The Last House on the Left (1972). Her other roles include the cheerleader Jane in The Abductors (1972) and Willie Mae in Preacherman Meets Widderwoman (1973). Outside of acting, Rain has also worked as a writer and producer at NBC, at both the Rockefeller Center and Los Angeles locations. In 1983, Jeramie married actor Richard Dreyfuss; she had three children with Dreyfuss prior to divorcing him in 1995. In the early 90s, Jeramie founded "Mother's Touch", which is a Los Angeles-based charity that helps out children diagnosed with serious illnesses. She was interviewed in the retrospective documentary, Celluloid Crime of the Century (2003). Rain now works as producer and scriptwriter for daytime television programs in Los Angeles.
