Rosemary McGrotha is an American model, from Tallahassee, Florida, who was incredibly popular during the 1980s and into the 1990s, working for a wide range of photographers, appearing on countless covers. Her beauty was unmistakably that of a strong woman, and perhaps her most memorable work was the Donna Karan campaign where she played the role of US President. A small example of four covers (bellazon.com):

Can't believe she didn't already have a thread:shock:
Fantastic model and such a strong look.
Thanks tigerrouge :flower: for starting the thread.
I will try to contribute when I manage to sort through some of my crap.:blink:
 
I was reminded of Eugenia Volodina by the pictures, but she does really have her own look. Very strong though, as said by Northern_Star already.
Interesting look!
 
two more DKNY ads, the other model in the second picture is Cordula Reyer

I'm terrbile at ID'ing, so I have to rely on what bwgreyscale says.... And I already posted that on Cordula's thread!:blush:
 
Thank you so much, tigerrouge, for starting this thread. I've always regarded Rosemary as being one of the most beautiful models of all times and I still do.
