III. FIDELITY FUNDS

- -    VIP EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO  - seeks reasonable income by investing

     seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by investing in
     international equity securities, the issuers of which are considered
     by AIM to have strong earnings momentum.

- -    AIM V.I. VALUE FUND  - is a diversified Portfolio which seeks to
     achieve long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity
     securities judged by AIM to be undervalued relative to the current or
     projected earnings of the companies issuing the securities, or
     relative to current market values of assets owned by the companies
     issuing the securities or relative to the equity markets generally.
     Income is a secondary objective.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS ADDED TO THE FEDERAL TAX MATTERS SECTION OF
YOUR PROSPECTUS, PAGE 21.

ROTH INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES

Section 408A of the Code permits eligible individuals to make nondeductible
contributions to an individual retirement program known as a Roth
Individual Retirement Annuity.  Roth Individual Retirement Annuities are
subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the
time when distributions may commence.  "Qualified distributions" from Roth
Individual Retirement Annuities are not includible in gross income.
"Qualified distributions" are any distributions made more than five taxable
years after the taxable year of the first contribution to the Roth
Individual Retirement Annuity, and which are made on or after the date the
individual attains age 59 1/2, made to a beneficiary after the owner's
death, attributable to the owner being disabled or for a first time home
purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a lifetime limit of
$10,000).  "Nonqualified distributions" are treated as made from
contributions first and are includible in gross income to the extent such
distributions exceed the contributions made to the Roth Individual
Retirement Annuity.  The taxable portion of a "nonqualified distribution"
may be subject to the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions.  Subject
to certain limitations, a traditional Individual Retirement Account or
Annuity may be converted or "rolled over" to a Roth Individual Retirement
Annuity.  The taxable portion of a conversion or rollover distribution is
includible in gross income, but is exempted from the 10% penalty tax on
premature distributions.

Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 the Statement of Additional Information 
contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on 
Form N-4 (File No. 333-00999), as filed electronically on May 1, 1997, except 
that the discussion under the heading "Financial Statements" is amended to 
read as follows:

     The Company's unaudited financial statements for the third quarter
     ended September 30, 1997 are incorporated herein by reference to the

     copy of which accompanies this Statement of Additional Information.
     Audited financial statements of the Company for 1996 begin on page
     F-1 of the Prospectus.

     No audited financial statements of the Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager

     no material operations during the year ended December 31, 1997, and 
     the incremental benefit to Contract holders of preparing such
     financial statements does not justify the additional cost that would
     be incurred.

28.  INDEMNIFICATION

     The by-laws of both Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company (Depositor) and
Allstate Life Financial Services, Inc. (Distributor), provides for the
indemnification of its Directors, Officers and Controlling Persons, against
expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement as incurred by
such person, if such person acted properly. No indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of a duty to the Company, unless a court determines such person
is entitled to such indemnity.


     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company ("Registrant"),
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered. Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
