Deborah Raffin in Ski Lift to Death

In 1978, Deborah Raffin starred in Ski Lift to Death. The actress was first-billed in this made-for-TV thriller (later retitled Snowblind for home video release) which also featured Clu Gulager, Howard Duff, Veronica Hamel and a young Don Johnson. Raffin shared many of her scenes with actor Charles Frank. You can find some more information on the film here.




Ski Lift to Death is a typical TV movie from the late '70s. A bunch of familiar faces gather together for some melodramatic situations. Combine this with a dance contest and some ski stunt footage and you get a nice piece of fluffy television entertainment. Its not that good but it is bad enough to be fun. Deborah Raffin comes out relatively unscathed...and she's really beautiful too!

Deborah Raffin in How to Pick Up Girls



In 1978, Deborah Raffin appeared in a TV movie called How to Pick Up Girls. In this project, the lovely actress and former professional model portrayed...a beautiful professional model! Since the subject matter was so familiar, Deborah Raffin fits right in to this television comedy.




Of course, Raffin is not especially well-remembered for her comedic roles but she does a great job here as an effervescent model. She has a scene early on with a drunken Richard Dawson (as her photographer), but after that shares all her scenes with the movie's star, Fred McCarren. Raffin even has a disco dancing scene taking place at the famous Studio 54 nightclub!

Unfortunately, Deborah Raffin's screen-time in How to Pick Up Girls is limited and the actress only appears in the first half of the movie. She does make a great impact on the viewer and she does a fine job with her role.
