Tania Rose obituary

My grandmother, Tania Rose, who has died aged 95, grew up speaking German but went on to collaborate with her husband on screenplays for the Ealing studios and the Oscar-winning Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.

Born Margaret Tatiana in Berlin, Tania was the daughter of Lisa (nee Balster) and Morgan Philips Price who, after reporting on the Russian Revolution for the Manchester Guardian, went as foreign correspondent to the Daily Herald. German was spoken at home, so Tania had to brush up on her English when the family moved back to Britain and settled at the Grove in Taynton. Her father later became Labour MP for the Forest of Dean and Father of the House of Commons.
