Josiah Quinn Crowninshield Bradlee FRSA,[1] FSA Scot, MStJ[2] (born April 29, 1982) is an American filmmaker, author and advocate for improving the lives of disabled individuals.[3][4][5][6][7]

Biography

Bradlee is the son of the late author and Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee, and author and journalist Sally Quinn.[8][9][10]

He was diagnosed in 1996 with Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome (VCFS).[3][6][11][12] He attended The Lab School of Washington,[3][13] and graduated from the college-preparatory Gow School in 2002.[14][15] He attended special programs at Landmark College and American University, and studied at the New York Film Academy.[3]

He is the producer of several documentary films including the 2007 film Life with VCFS about the syndrome and the VCFS International Center at Upstate Medical University,[16][17] and is the associate producer of the 2010 HBO Family documentary film I Can't Do This But I CAN Do That: A Film for Families About Learning Differences.[3][8][18] He is the author of the 2009 memoir A Different Life: Growing Up Learning Disabled and Other Adventures, documenting his efforts to overcome VCFS,[3][6][8][12][17] and, with his father, he co-authored the 2012 book A Life's Work: Fathers and Sons.[3][12]

He is the webmaster of Friends of Quinn, a website which he created in 2008 as part of the HealthCentral Network for learning disabled individuals.[3][6] It offers "resources and support for young adults with learning differences,"[19][20] and uses the dyslexic-friendly Dyslexie font to mitigate some of the issues that dyslexics experience when reading. As part of a series of website-video interviews with notable individuals, he interviewed filmmaker Steven Spielberg. In the interview, Spielberg described his own lifelong dyslexia and 2007 diagnosis of the developmental reading disorder.[3][21] Bradlee is also the youth engagement associate for the National Center for Learning Disabilities.[3]

He married yoga instructor Pary Anbaz-Williamson in 2010.[8][22][23] The couple divorced in 2014.[24]

Ancestry

Bradlee's paternal grandfather, Frederick Josiah Bradlee Jr., "could trace his American ancestry back through 10 generations" of the family.[25] This early collection of family history was further developed in his father's ancestry, and encouraged his own extensive interest in ancestry.[17] He is a patrilineal descendant of several of the Boston Brahmin families including the Bradlee, Choate, Crowninshield and Sargent families among others. He is also a descendant of the old colonial American and Puritan Putnam family founded by John and Priscilla Gould Putnam in 17th century Salem, Mass.[12][25][26][27][28] He is also a matrilineal descendant of several Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic families including the McDougald, Quinn, Williams and Wilson families among others.[12][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]
