She starred opposite Michael Richards (Cosmo Kramer) in the 1994 Seinfeld episode “the Mom and Pop store” as the co-owner of a neighbourhood shoe-repair business.
Her credits also include the 1997 film Titanic, in which she played Ida Strauss, an elderly passenger who saw out her final moments in her partner’s arms on board the sinking ship.
Her portrayal of the role was inspired by a real-life couple, both of whom died during the 1912 disaster.
A scene featuring Ms Raven was included in the music video for Celine Dion’s song My Heart Will Go On.
She is reportedly survived by 15 nieces and nephews.
