His brother Brooks was at times an actor, and an exporter. When his daughter Suzanne was born in 1941 Brooks lived in Elizabeth, New Jersey as Suzanne is called "a native of that place, but raised in Boston from infancy." They also had a son William, who is called age 18 in 1962. It's not yet clear when Brooks and his first wife divorced, but it was before 1962 when she is described as already remarried to Peter Thomsonm "a Boston engineer". In 1951 Brooks is mentioned as the producer of NBC-TV's "Home" show. Brooks also had several children by his second wife Eleanor Clift the noted author and columnist. In newspaper accounts dated 1962, Brooks is called a "movie and television producer in New York". Brooks, taking up his mother's passion in genealogy, has done extensive research on the family, according to Monty's biographer Patricia Bosworth. | His brother Brooks was at times an actor, and an exporter.
