Lillian Ross, whose innovative journalism appeared in the New Yorker magazine for eight consecutive decades, and whose profiles and articles were considered forebears of both the nonfiction novel and unsparing modern celebrity profile, died Sept. 20 at a Manhattan hospital. She was 99. The cause was a stroke, said her longtime New Yorker editor, Susan Morrison.
