Stage Name

Real Name

Raven | Raven de la Croix | Raven de Lumiere Lynn Christie Ana Martin
Rev. Lynne Chrystie Ana | Crystals-The Magic Clown

     Green eyed, Black hair and enough curves to keep anyone occupied. Raven was born on August 24, 1947 in Manhattan, the oldest of five girls and three boys. She is part Cherokee, French-Indian, German, Celtic, Scottish and Columbian. As a child she always dreamed of dancing, and as she became a teenager became a go-go dancer. This soon came to an end and by the age of 17 found herself employed at the Rheingold Beer Pavilion (a restaurant) as a hostess. By the age of 18 she would marry and move away from home and have a son, however the marriage did not last.

      As for her Acting in films, she was discovered at a lunch counter one day in Hollywood by one of Russ Meyer's casting agents and was cast in his up and coming film "UP!". This lead to a multitude of films over the years. As for her becoming a Burlesque Queen, this came about in 1980 at age 33, Raven entered her new realm of fame as a burlesque performer and took the nickname her Grandmother gave her as Raven. As of this writing, Lynn is currently a Spiritual counselor & Intuitive Communicator in North Hollywood, CA.
