Rachel Korine, 38, once known for her role as the rebellious Cotty in Spring Breakers (2012), recently appeared nearly unrecognizable during a casual stroll in New York City. The mother of three wore a long black coat, faded jeans, a white tee, and sneakers—a stark contrast to her neon bikini-clad character in the cult film.

In the Harmony Korine-directed crime comedy, Rachel starred alongside Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Benson as college students whose Florida spring break spirals into drugs and violence after meeting eccentric rapper-drug dealer Alien (James Franco). Korine’s character, Cotty, balanced wild partying with caution, while Gomez’s Faith grappled with faith and friendship. The film, written by Rachel’s husband Harmony, became a gritty commentary on youth excess.

Harmony, now 52, crafted the script to vicariously experience the hedonistic spring breaks he missed while skateboarding as a teen. Rachel, however, stumbled into acting after marrying him in 2007. “I never studied acting. It just sort of happened,” she told WWD in 2013. Harmony initially wrote small roles for her to keep them together during filming, but Spring Breakers became her breakout.

Post-Spring Breakers, Rachel’s career included the indie film Druid Peak (2014), the series The Knick (2014–2015), and Men Go To Battle (2015). Since then, she’s stepped away from acting, focusing on family life with Harmony and their three children. Meanwhile, Harmony continued directing with The Beach Bum (2019) and Aggro Dr1ft (2023).

Though fans might miss her onscreen presence, Rachel’s shift to privacy highlights her versatility—both as an actress and a mother embracing life beyond Hollywood’s glare.
