Rainey, an actress and musician, said:
“I am honored to be selected as the 2012 Miss Golden Globe. It’s very exciting to be a part of an awards show like the Golden Globes so early on in my career.”

Laura Dern (daughter of Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern), Kathryn Eastwood (daughter of Clint Eastwood) and Gia Mantegna (daughter of Joe Mantegna) have also had the honor of being Miss Golden Globe.
