Raines was born in Manila, Philippines to American parents. She grew up the daughter of a chemical engineer and a dancer. Her paternal grandfather was an immigrant from Colombia and her paternal grandmother was of Swedish and German ancestry, while her mother is of Scotch-Irish descent.[1] Her sister Victoria Herazo was a member of the US Olympic team at racewalking.

Raines' first major film was Robert Altman's classic ensemble comedy Nashville in 1975. She subsequently co-starred as a central character in the 1978 television miniseries, Centennial. Originally a novel by James Michener, the program was a 26-hour epic depicting the history of Colorado and is one of the first groundbreaking miniseries' created for television. Raines' role was that of Lucinda McKeag Zendt, an Arapaho and French-Canadian woman. Living during the 1840s through the 1880s, Raines' character was born to an Arapaho mother and trapper father named Pasquinel who hailed from Montreal, Quebec. Raines was featured in ten of the twelve Centennial episodes.

Raines is also known for her role as Lane Ballou in the 1980s prime-time soap opera, Flamingo Road. Other TV credits include: Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Kojak, Fantasy Island, Hotel, The Love Boat, Simon & Simon, Matt Houston, The Fall Guy, T. J. Hooker, Murder, She Wrote, Riptide, Highway to Heaven, The Tenth Month, and Moonlighting. Her film roles include The Sentinel, Nightmares, and The Duellists.
