Rosalie Thorne McKenna
American, 1918 - 2003
Her paternal great-grandmother, Harriet Van Schoonhoven Thorne, also a photographer, had a summer home and photography studio in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Particularly close to her grandfather, Victor Corse Thorne (Harriet V.S. Thorne’s son), Rollie began spending her summers in Connecticut with her father’s side of the family when she was still in her teens, and eventually settled in Stonington, CT, in 1961, after almost fifteen years of living in Millbrook, NY and New York City (both places where various members of the Thorne family resided).
