A Sunday Times article of 15.March 1998 written by Zoe Brennan says Susan Ross is writing a book about Bob Dylan's love life, herself claiming to have dated Bob Dylan for 10 years. She also names four other women, all named Carol, that have either dated him, been married to him, or even had his children. Quote: Ross, who is described as a "leggy blonde" in her mid-forties, claims to have conducted a discreet 12-year relationship with Dylan, supporting him when he nearly died of a heart infection a little more than a year ago. She trained at the Juilliard School of music in New York and met Dylan in 1985 at a Columbia Records party.
