The main thing you may notice about Deborah Raffin in God Told Me To are her huge glasses. She wears them during most of her scenes and it serves as an intersting stylistic choice in the movie. That being said, Deborah Raffin doesn't really have that many scenes in the film. She is billed in God Told Me To as 'guest star', which is often a designation used for TV movies. Deborah Raffin does relatively well with what she has to work with but there are so many other things going on in the movie that she doesn't really have time to make a huge impact. Still, it was nice to see her when she did appear onscreen!
