Biography
Iglauer was born in Cleveland, Ohio and was educated at Wellesley College and Columbia University School of Journalism. Her interest in Eskimo culture led her to travel the northern climates extensively. Iglauer appeared as herself, along with John Denison, in the History Channel presentation, Ice Road Truckers.
Personal life
Iglauer's second husband was Canadian fisherman John Daly, whom she featured in the book Fishing With John (1988). Widowed by Daly's sudden death on the dance floor, Iglauer later married widower Frank White, another self-reliant Canadian in the same coastal community where she had settled permanently. White died on October 18, 2015, aged 101, in Garden Bay, BC. She turned 100 in March 2017.
