~~Montgomery's 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 Thomson "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 (b. 7 Jul 1940) 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. In 1967 Brooks was in a movie called "Vice Girls, Ltd". In an article dated 20 Aug 1975 in the ''Anderson Daily Bulletin'' by syndicated columnist Dorothy Manners she states that Brooks "a resident of Atlanta, Ga. with mostly TV commercials to his credit" did a good screen test and landed the part of a white baseball team owner who is the first to sign a black player in the 1930s. The Universal picture was called "The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings", the executive producer was stated to be "boss of Motown" Berry Gordy.
