Young Max Brooks"He did a lot of stuff growing up that was funny," Mel Brooks once recalled of his son (comedy writer Max Brooks), "but he didn't intend it to be funny. When he was 15, we were having a dinner party [with several other Jews], and he came down in a Nazi storm-trooper uniform [for his junior prom]. Everyone else wore a tuxedo, and he wore an SS uniform... We were shocked. Everyone at the dinner party thought, God, the kid's crazy. But my wife [Anne Bancroft] was good. She said, 'You know, Max... We'll have to take the shoulders in a little bit.'"
Brooks, Max (?- ) American comedy writer [noted for his work with "Saturday Night Live" and for various books]
