From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Brooks was born Elisabeth Brooks Luyties in Toronto, Ontario and began her acting career aged five, encompassing both stage and screen. She started appearing in television roles in the mid-1970s and managed to pursue her acting career as a single mother while working a variety of jobs to support herself and her son.
