Brooks also had a son Jamison Clift by actress Kim Stanley, although this son was known as Jamison Conway until the 1980s, when he changed his name. (see ''The New York Times'', 21 Aug 2001, "Kim Stanley...dies at 76") Jamison does or did at one time live in New Mexico, possibly in the Santa Fe area, and might be an artist. | Brooks also had a son Jamison Clift by actress Kim Stanley, although this son was known as Jamison Conway until the 1980s, when he changed his name.
