DVD full-length movies starring Dean R. Brooks
| Biography: |
Dr. Dean Kent Brooks M.D. was born in Everett, Washington in 1916. He was the head of the Oregon State Hospital in 1975 when the film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)" was filmed there. He starred, surprising enough, as the head of the psychiatric hospital in the film, "Dr. John Spivey M.D.".
He attended the University of Kansas Medical School in Kansas City, Kansas and graduated from there on the 1st of June 1942. He was first licensed in Oregon to practice Psychiatry on the 21st of January, 1950. He retired from the practice of Psychiatric Medicine on the 31st of December, 1999. During the filming of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", he diagnosed actor William Redfield (who played psychiatric hospital patient "Harding") with Leukemia (this was long before the days of bone marrow transplants), and gave Mr. Redfield 18 months to live (he died 18 months later, pretty much to the day).
He never had a single complaint filed against him in his long and distinguished career as a Psychiatrist.

McMurphy, a man with several assault convictions to his name, finds himself in jail once again. This time, the charge is statutory rape when it turns out that his girlfriend had lied about being eighteen, and was, in fact, fifteen (or, as McMurphy puts it, "fifteen going on thirty-five"). Rather than spend his time in jail, he convinces the guards that he's crazy enough to need psychiatric care and is sent to a hospital. He fits in frighteningly well, and his different point of view actually begins to cause some of the patients to progress. Nurse Ratched becomes his personal cross to bear as his resistance to the hospital routine gets on her nerves. |
