Background[]
Rosalie is the niece and business manager of Salome Otterbourne, a blues singer and romance writer who performs at a London club. She accompanies her aunt on a vacation to Egypt, where they board the Karnak, a steamboat that sails along the Nile River. Rosalie is a childhood friend of Linnet Ridgeway-Doyle, a wealthy heiress who marries Simon Doyle, the former fiancé of Jacqueline de Bellefort. Rosalie is also a love interest of Bouc, a friend of Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective who investigates a murder that occurs on the boat.
Rosalie is described as secretive and sulky, but also bright and kind-hearted. She tries to protect her aunt from scandal and harm, as Salome has a secret that could ruin her career and reputation. Rosalie also has a secret of her own, which makes her a suspect in the murder case. She is one of the few characters who survives the events of the film. Rosalie Otterbourne is a minor character in the original novel by Christie, where she is Salome's daughter instead of niece. She was previously portrayed by Olivia Hussey in the 1978 film adaptation and by Zoe Telford in the 2004 television adaptation.
