Former fashion and celebrity editor and interviewer, James Brady, died in his New York City home on January 26, 2009. An author and former publisher of Harper’s Bazaar, Brady is perhaps best remembered for his “Page Six” gossip column in the mid-1970s. He was considered by many to be the forerunner of modern gossip columnists such as Perez Hilton.

For the last quarter century, Brady wrote the “In Step With” celebrity profiles for Parade magazine. These columns featured interviews with popular entertainers and young celebrities. The profiles were much more flattering than his snarky gossip column from the 70s. While many of the interviews were conducted over the phone, some took place in the glamorous New York hotel suites of the celebrity being interviewed.

Brady’s books ranged from war novels drawn from his experiences as a Korean war veteran to stories about the worlds of high fashion and the media. The latter provided an insider’s view of celebrity life, as did his romance novels featuring writers and editors.

James Brady was 80 years old.
