RAND BROOKS

Rand Brooks was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was one of Hopalong Cassidy's two sidekicks (he played "Lucky" Jenkins). Some of his other movies include: Gone With the Wind (as Charles Hamilton), The Son of Monte Cristo, and Niagara Falls. In 1964, he wrote and directed "Legend of the Northwest", and he invested all his money in it, and the movie was not released, and he was ruined financially (and it ended his first marriage). That finished him with Hollywood, but the following year, he started a private ambulance service, which became massively successful! Legend of the Northwest was eventually released in 1978. Mr. Brooks passed away in 2003 at the age of 84.
