Rachel True looks like she hasn’t aged a day in 28 years (Picture: @trueracheltrue; Shutterstock)When The Craft hit cinemas in May 1996, it was a surprising hit with audiences.
The teen horror film, directed by Andrew Fleming, presented a twisted tale of high school witchcraft that captured something specifically adolescent, earning it a cult classic status.
Rachel True, who played Rochelle in the film, recently posted a reel on Instagram that made it seem like she’s a real-life witch who’s discovered a potion for everlasting youth.
She looks nearly the same as she did in the film from 30 years ago, wowing fans.
The video announced a new episode of her podcast, The Circle is Podcast, and showed the actress, 56, with her cat. It earned plenty of loving comments from her followers.
One user, @toshasimpson8, commented under the reel: ‘Sooo appreciate your natural beauty I think it can sell anything.’

@kookykitty190 agreed, posting: ‘Rachel if we all could age like you!! You haven’t aged!’
@kriskarlaonline posted: ‘Your skin looks so amazing, as usual!’
Fans of The Craft make up a large majority of Rachel’s followers. The movie follows the story of a trio of high school witches – Nancy (Fairuza Balk), Bonnie (Neve Campbell), and Rochelle (Rachel True) – who welcome a newcomer, Sarah (Robin Tunney), into their coven.
Rachel first rose to fame in the hit film The Craft (Picture: Peter Iovino/Columbia/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock)Sarah’s arrival completes their sacred sisterhood, and the four outcasts begin to use their elevated powers to exact revenge on their bullies and enemies in their high school.
This narrative of empowerment, revenge, and the consequences of power struck a chord with many viewers, particularly in its portrayal of complex female friendships and the darker side of adolescence.
Rachel True’s character is particularly noteworthy. In the film, Rochelle casts a spell on her racist classmate Laura, causing her hair to fall out.
The movie followed a group of teenage witches (Picture: Peter Iovino/Columbia/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock)This act of vengeance, however, leads to a profound moment of remorse when Rochelle sees how upset Laura is about her hair. This subplot adds depth to the movie, causing it to resonate more profoundly than many teen flicks.
Rachel went on to face challenges in perpetuating the success she found with The Craft, mirroring the struggles of her character in the film.
Despite her talent, Hollywood rarely offered her leading roles throughout her career, reflecting the limited opportunities for actors of color in the industry.
The film cemented Rachel as a recognisable star (Picture: Columbia/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock)After The Craft, True starred in the sitcom Half & Half from 2002 to 2006, where she played Mona Thorne.
More recently, Rachel True has returned to her supernatural roots with her role in Agnes (2021), a horror film about possessed nuns.
Off-screen, Rachel True has embraced a truly witchy lifestyle.

The actress published a book about tarot cards in recent years (Picture: MediaPunch/REX/Shutterstock)She has become a professional tarot card reader in Los Angeles and in 2020, she published True Heart Intuitive Tarot, a comprehensive guide that includes a 78-card tarot deck and 22 memoir essays.
This book offers readers a unique look into her mystical practice, blending personal anecdotes with spiritual guidance. It quickly became a must-have for fans of The Craft.
Now, almost thirty years from her biggest hit, the actress looks as magical as ever.
