British actress Rosalie Williams(1919-2009), perhaps best known for playing Mrs Hudson in the long-running (1984-94) British television "Sherlock Holmes" series starring Jeremy Brett in the title role.
Rosalie Ulrika Olivecrona, née Roos, was a Swedish feminist activist and writer. She is one of the three great pioneers of the organized women's rights movement in Sweden, alongside Fredrika Bremer and Sophie Adlersparre.
Rosalie was the real given name of first-class Titanic passenger Ida Straus. (She went by her middle name.) She was the wife of Macy's co-owner Isidor Straus. She and her husband both died in the sinking.
There is a song called Rosalie. It was written by Bob Segar, and then Thin Lizzy covered the song. Thin Lizzy I think made it popular, because their version is WAY BETTER! It has that Rock a roll, sexy feel to it. Maybe that's why some people think that Rosalie is an Irish name, because of Thin Lizzy. Funny thing is, only half of the band is Irish, Scott is American (his bday is on St. Pat's day lol) and Brian (R) is from Scotland. Only Phill and Brian (D) are Irish.

Well-known British actress Rosalie Crutchley (1920-97). Rosalie Crutchley was a great actress, but I don't think even she would claim to be a great beauty - she took strong and sometimes slightly sinister parts, and the name Rosalie, being so pretty and feminine, didn't suit her at all!Rosalie is also a character in the British "Rupert Bear" stories.
There is a movie, made in 1937, called "Rosalie." The IMDb plot summary: West Point cadet Dick Thorpe falls in love with a girl, who turns out to be a princess from an European kingdom.
