  • Anna Marie Quindlen is an American author, journalist and opinion columnist whose New York Times column, Public and Private, won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1992. She began her journalism career in 1974 as a reporter with The New York Post. Between 1977 and 1994 she held several posts at The New York Times. She left journalism in 1995 to become a full-time novelist. For some years, she wrote a bi-weekly column for Newsweek (she announced her retirement in the 18 May 2009 issue of the magazine) and is known as a critic of what she perceives to be the fast-paced and increasingly materialistic nature of modern American life. Much of her personal writing centers on her mother who died at the age of 40 from ovarian cancer, when Anna was 19 years old. She has written five best-selling novels, three of which have been made into movies. One True Thing was made into a feature film in 1998 for which Meryl Streep received an Academy Award nomination as best actress. Black and Blue and Blessings were made into television movies in 1999 and 2003 respectively. Born in Philadelphia to an Irish father and an Italian mother, Quindlen graduated in 1970 from South Brunswick High School in South Brunswick, New Jersey. Quindlen graduated from Barnard College in New York City in 1974; she now serves on its Board of Trustees. She is also on the Council of the Author's Guild and the Board of St. Luke's School in New York. She is married and the mother of three children. She lives with her family in New York City.
