On the anniversary of her passing, I unknowingly was thinking of Jackie and sharing her light, talent, and sense of humor with a friend when I looked up to find her death was on April 26th. Jackie not only was a giving actress on stage, but in the classroom as a teacher. An actor's actor, she believed in the magic of the craft to impact performer and audience alike. I miss her dearly. My memory of her encouraging spirit always brings a smile to my face and a fond remembrance of her unselfish giving as a teacher, actor, and human being. Love and light, you are missed Ms. Brookes.

A wonderful teacher and mentor, she not only instructed her classes at Circle-in-the-Square during the day, she would be appearing onstage for evenings and matinees. A beautiful talent, she inspired and encouraged all of us, her hopeful young students. Rest in peace, Jackie.

Fortunately I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Brookes in 1990 on the Amtrak train between Los Angeles CA and Albuquerque, NM. She and another lady friend of mine and I had a wonderful time talking with one another. Miss Brookes was totally a down to earth person, definitely not pretentious! She will be missed a lot!

Jackie was one of the most gracious and kind of leading ladies. Generous always to others both on and off the stage, she was a model for those of us who were younger, impressionable and so fortunate to be working with her. Some of the happiest moments of my career were in her company. She was truly a great lady and so much loved.

Jackie had such presence ALWAYS and a keen ability to be fully listening. And a great smile! The performance world was lucky to have her.

Jackie, you were one of a kind. I will forever be in your debt for the lessons and kindness you offered me. I became a tougher, braver, funnier, more sensitive, and overall better actor and human being because of you. My fellow pupils and I carry on in your stead.

Whether a married couple in Seascape, Country Girl, or an illicit relationship in The Cocktail Party, or paired in 25 productions born from our Saturday class, she set the standard of excellence. Was an unfailingly loyal friend. Was my teacher for 25 Years. Always counseled me to not choke off my sound. Especially when I say,"I love you, Jackie."

Jackie played my mom in the New York Premiere of Sam Shepard's "Buried Child" back in 1978, and became great friends. I later moved into the same neighborhood in the West Village where we saw each other regularly on the street over the last 20 years. She was honest and passionate and loving and bawdy and wise and I will miss her terribly. Love you, Jackie

I've Always Enjoyed Watching Your Performances On Daytime TV Soaps ("Guiding Light", "Another World", "Ryan's Hope", & "Secret Storm") During My High School & College Years In The 1970s.
Rest In Peace, Jacqueline! :-)

I got to know Jackie when she performed in many Shakespeare plays at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego in the '60's. I was performing on the lawn with an early music group before the plays began. She approached me and asked me to help her prepare for her lead role in Honegger's opera, Joan of Arc at the Stake. Although it was a speaking role, the score set her lines in musical rhythms. It was fun helping her get the idea (she got it but mostly ignored it) and thrilling to watch her perform Joan at Carnegie Hall a few months later.

I understudied Ms Brooks in a University production of Mother Courage, praying every night that she would stay well. She was a remarkable actress and a very kind and supportive woman. I am very saddened to hear of her passing
