- Elisabeth Brooks nasceu o 2 de julho de 1951 em Toronto, Ontário, Canadá. Era atriz e foi conhecida pelo seu trabalho em Grito de Horror (1981), O Homem de Seis Milhões de Dólares (1974) e À Procura de Alguém (1989). Morreu o 7 de setembro de 1997 em Palm Springs, Califórnia, EUA.
- Had one son: Jeremy Brooks (born 1973); she was unmarried.
- She wrote and directed two stage plays: "Orphan Dreams" (1993) and "Orphan Dreams Too" (1995).
- She appeared in publicity photos and movie stills to have mild hypertropic strabismus (a condition in which one eyeball has a tendency to look upwards more than the other). It is unknown whether or not this had any connection to her deadly brain cancer.
- She was to have reprised her role as Marsha Quist in Grito de Horror 2 (1985) as she agreed to the sequel, but later backed out. She was suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) at that time. Consequently, Marsha Quist was replaced with the character Marianna, played by actress/singer Marsha Hunt.
- Best remembered by the public for her role as the evil leather-clad siren Marsha Quist in Joe Dante's classic Grito de Horror (1981), which brought her considerable notoriety within the horror genre.
- [on Grito de Horror (1981)] In the past, I've always refused to do nude magazine work because I believe in the Bible and have morals. I was signed to do the movie on my acting ability alone. I was told that the (nudity) would be smoke-screened by a bonfire and that you wouldn't be able to see anything. I had no issue being totally nude in front of the crew while filming that scene, but I had no idea they would show as much of my nudity as they did in the film.
