NY celebrity reporter James Brady dies at age 80

The celebrity columnist who created the New York Post's gossipy Page Six 
has died at his Manhattan home. James Brady was 80.

Brady's death was announced Tuesday by Parade magazine, where he wrote the 
celebrity profile column "In Step With" for nearly 25 years.

Brady worked until his death Monday. The cause of his death hasn't been 
announced.

His last column will appear Feb. 15. It will feature actor Kevin Bacon.

Brady started as a copyboy for the New York Daily News. He left to serve 
in the Marines during the Korean War.

He was hired by media mogul Rupert Murdoch in 1974 to edit the then-new 
weekly Star magazine. He later was an associate publisher at the New York 
Post.

Brady is survived by his wife, two daughters, a brother and other 
relatives.
