He served in the Senate for 8 months.
Brady was born in Manhattan, New York City, the son of James Cox Brady, Jr., and his wife, Eliot Chace. He was named for his paternal great-uncle, businessman and philanthropist Nicholas Frederic Brady. His great-grandfather was industrialist Anthony N. Brady.

After graduating from St. Mark's School, Southborough, Massachusetts, Brady attended Yale University (B.A., 1952), where he was a member of Chi Psi Fraternity. He received his M.B.A. from Harvard University in 1954.

Williams, Jr. He served from April 12, 1982 through December 27, 1982 and did not seek election to a full term.
