Jean Ross
Jean Iris Ross (1911–1973) was a British singer and writer. She was the model for the Sally Bowles character in the Berlin stories and novels of Christopher Isherwood.
==Berlin==
Brought up in Egypt, the daughter of a Scottish cotton merchant, Ross was working as a nightclub singer in Weimar Germany in 1931. She also performed in the chorus in Max Reinhardt's production of Offenbach's ''The Tales of Hoffmann''.〔Sutherland, John, ''Stephen Spender: A Literary Life'', Oxford University Press, New York, 2005, p. 122.〕
In Berlin she shared lodgings with Isherwood, becoming immortalised as the "divinely decadent" Sally Bowles in Isherwood's 1939 memoir ''Goodbye to Berlin''.〔Garebian, Keith, ''The Making of Cabaret'', Oxford University Press, 2011, p. 6〕
Isherwood later wrote that Ross had “a long, thin handsome face, aristocratic nose, glossy dark hair, large brown eyes,” and was “more essentially British than Sally; she grumbled like a true Englishwoman, with her grin-and-bear-it grin. And she was tougher.”〔 Like Bowles, she had a habit of boasting about her various lovers.〔 Bowles has been played by Julie Harris in ''I Am a Camera'', the 1951 adaptation of ''Goodbye to Berlin'', and the 1955 film adaptation of the same name, Jill Haworth in the original 1966 Broadway production of ''Cabaret'', Judi Dench in the original 1968 West End stage version of ''Cabaret'' and Liza Minnelli in Bob Fosse's 1972 film adaptation of the musical.
