Personal life edit

Thornton was born in Cheraw, South Carolina. He is the son of professor Robert Donald Thornton (1917–2006),[3][4] who taught English at Harvard University among other institutions, and Grace Ellen (née Baker; 1919–2019).[5][6][1][7][8] He graduated from Hamilton College and Yale Drama School and studied at Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio.[2]

Thornton met singer Cyndi Lauper on the set of the film Off and Running.[2] They married in November 1991 and have a son, Declyn Wallace Thornton (b. 1997).[9]

In 2005, the New York Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Thornton in Thornton v. Baron, which is considered a landmark decision in the New York real estate industry, specifically dealing with rent stabilization in New York.[10]
