Biography

About Rosemary McGrotha

Edited by the community

At 5'9" with a slim build, Rosemary McGrotha stands out as one of the few American high fashion models with a natural D cup. Born in Tallahassee, Florida, she began her career around 1979, working as a model and actress through the 1970s and 1980s. Vogue magazine highlighted her in a 1992 feature, calling her bosom a standout among high fashion models.

McGrotha is best known for the 1992 Donna Karan campaign "In Women We Trust," where she appeared as the first female president. The campaign, which also ran in fall 1986, showed her in scenes like riding in a limousine, boarding a plane with bags, and dressing in a messy bedroom with a baby nearby. Donna Karan described McGrotha as having a fuller figure, noting she could only shoot her from the waist up. Jeff Bercovici of Women's Wear Daily wrote about the campaign in 2004, describing McGrotha as dark-haired and relatively full-figured for a fashion model.

Throughout her career, McGrotha worked in print, cover, and runway modeling. She is often listed as the only D cup in her weight range on modeling agency one-sheets and FAQ sites. She is straight, with brown hair and blue eyes.
