Eunice Brooks

Attractive Eunice Brooks was an Oscar Micheaux actress. In his early films she was his leading actress...and a fine dramatic actress. She appeared in Oscar Micheaux's first talkie film "The Exile.", playing a Femme Fatale. She's a woman who has taken over a mansion and become a wealthy woman but turns the house into a low-down club where you could get drunk, party all night and carouse. The house is also the house where she leads men into ruin but suffers for it in the end. She also played Mrs. Austin in "The Girl from Chicago" where she again gave a wonderful performance. Eunice Brooks was by far Oscar Micheaux's best dramatic actress. Not much is known about her, hopefully family members will come to light and tell us about this wonderful actress who should serve as a positive role model for Blacks to follow in the acting field.
