Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Jean Ross" in English language version.
John Sommerfield described The Imprinted as semi-fictional memoirs. It draws loosely on his own life—the dissolute, disputatious political and literary circles in which he mixed; political activism in London; fighting in Spain... Much of the action concerns a commission to make a radio documentary about... John Cornford, then being pressured to amend the script and take out some of the politics, and battling against these injunctions.
Isherwood returned to the United States and three years later, on April 27th 1973, Jean died of cervical cancer at her home in Barnes, south-west London. She was cremated at Mortlake Crematorium on May 4th 1973.
This side of Jean Ross' life is mentioned in John Sommerfield's The Imprinted (1977), where she appears as 'Jean Reynolds.' In this novel, she has been immortalised as Lucy Rivers in a novel by L.P. Davies titled A Woman of the Thirties. 'I realized that A Woman of the Thirties had been a misfortune for her; she had been fixed by the book, turned into a fictional character whose story ended in 1939.' She has an affair in The Imprinted with 'John Rackstraw' (based on John Cornford, a young Cambridge Communist with whom Sommerfield fought in Spain).Firchow, Peter Edgerly (2008).

Although an autobiographical work disguised as a novel, John Sommerfield's The Imprinted draws upon factual relationships and events that occurred among British socialist enclaves in the 1930s. As such, Sommerfield's friendship with Ross and Cornford is likely factual, although any relationship between Ross and Cornford is unconfirmed.

She's been played by big names such as Judi Dench, Julie Harris, Teri Hatcher and Brooke Shields. But Liza Minnelli's Oscar-winning performance as the underground club singer is seen by Cabaret fans as the definitive Sally Bowles. In fact author Christopher Isherwood based his character on Jean Ross, an English woman he met while living in decadent Berlin in the early 1930s. Jean generously allowed him to publish the book in 1937 – despite it featuring the then-scandalous fact she'd had an abortion. Isherwood never confirmed she had inspired Sally until after her death in 1973, while Jean, a political radical, never wanted publicity. She was traced by reporters when [I Am a Camera] was first staged in [1951], but declined all invitations to see the show. A family friend said: 'Jean was a wonderful woman, warm and gentle in demeanour. She couldn't have been more unlike the rather tinny character portrayed in Sally Bowles. She was extremely intelligent, politically alert and vital. She probably found the portrait painted by Christopher Isherwood rather irritating.'—————————— (2012b). Bucknell, Katherine (ed.).

[Christopher Isherwood] found no irony in the post‐Berlin life of Jean Ross, the woman who was the model for the hedonistic Sally Bowles: 'A beautiful woman. She left Berlin to go to Spain during the Civil War. She died recently still a Communist.'

The real Isherwood, though not without many sympathetic qualities, was petty, selfish and supremely egotistical. The least political of the so-called Auden group, Isherwood was always guided by his personal motivations rather than by abstract ideas.
