Overview
David Thornton is an actor and Hamilton College alumnus. He has appeared in numerous film and television productions and is married to singer-actress Cyndi Lauper.
Relevance to Research
Thornton appears in two issues of the Spectator from the mid-1970s. The February 13, 1976 issue lists him as a member of the Spectator’s production staff: “Production Staff — Dave Balog, Howard Berger, Susan Cunningham, David Schutt, David Thornton, Dan Wallace.” The May 27, 1977 issue again lists “David Thornton” among a group of students, suggesting he remained active at Hamilton through at least the 1976–77 academic year.
Notes
Both references are incidental staff/roster listings rather than feature mentions. His presence on the Spectator production staff in 1976 is the most specific detail. The two listings together suggest he was a student at Hamilton from approximately 1975 to 1977 or later.
