When The Craft hit cinemas back in May 1996, it totally bewitched film lovers everywhere. The teen horror unexpectedly became a box office hit with its twisted story of a trio of schoolgirl witches. Rachel True, who played Rochelle in the film, has barely aged a day since becoming a movie star, and she faced similar racism in her acting career as her character did in the movie. Now 57, Rachel has starred in Half & Half and recently dived back into the supernatural genre with “Agnes,” a horror flick about possessed nuns. She has embraced her mystical side off-screen too, working as a tarot card reader in Los Angeles and even writing a book about her “mystic-minded Hollywood life.”
