RAND BROOKS BIOGRAPHY & FILMOGRAPHY:
 
Rand Brooks was born on September 21st, 1918 in St. Louis, Missouri with the birth name Arlington Rand Brooks Jr.  During World War II he served in the US Army and then became involved in acting.   

Rand's film debut was in 1938 in, "Love Finds Andy Hardy".  This role followed with a number of other small roles in such films as, "The Old Maid" and "Thunder Afloat" (both 1939).  It was his role in, "Gone With the Wind" (1939) opposite Scarlett O'Hara that really earned him some attention from film critics. 
 
His acting career continued with a number of roles mostly in westerns, and most well known was the character, Lucky Jenkins in the, "Hopalong Cassidy" series for a total of twelve movies starting in 1952.  As his career progressed he appeared on television in, "The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin" (1956-1958).  He also got involved in directing for a bit where he invested his money in, "Legends of the Northwest" (1978) which ruined him financially.     

While working in the entertainment industry, he also started the Professional Ambulance Service in Glendale, California.  Which by 1977 was the largest private paramedic provider in Los Angeles County.  In 1995, he sold the corporation to American Medical Response.  He then retired to a ranch in Santa Barbara, California where he passed away on September 1st, 2003 from cancer at the age of eighty four.   

He married twice throughout his life, first to Lois Laurel from 1948 through 1976 after having two children.  His second marriage was to Hermine Brooks from 1978 through his death after having another two children.    

Brooks will also always be remembered as the man who gave Marilyn Monroe her first legendary screen kiss.
