Robert Edward Thorsen met his future wife Joan Thorsen at Northwestern University. They married in 1940, and she gave birth to a daughter in 1941 who unfortunately died the same day. Robert was drafted to serve in WWII, and Joan began modeling in NYC while he was gone. She ended up going to Hollywood to do a screen test for Howard Hughes, who signed her to a contract. She ended up staying and her marriage to Thorsen fell apart in 1943, even after she learned she was pregnant. She had daughter Pamela Christina in August of 1944, but did not end up reconciling with Thorsen.
