Frey grew up in western New York, the child of a professor and a schoolteacher. She attended Harvard University.[1]
After college, Frey interned at the Detroit Free Press, then the Miami Herald. She went on to write for the Philadelphia Daily News and the New York Times. In 1995, she joined the Washington Post, writing for the sports page, then the style section.[2] Writing of Frey in 1997, David Carr called her "a certified prodigy who can do it all: X's and O's, empathetic profiles, and hard takedowns when the situation requires it."[3]
Frey died of organ failure due to alcoholism on March 26, 2016.[1]
