What gives? She's off the bio page, and haven't seen her on the air for awhile. What, did she go off and buy a 1974 Corvette and open a new dress shop in Denton?

She's still doing their public affairs program Positively Texas.
That's all she's doing there.

She was in semi-retirement when they brought her back for the 4pm orignally. I have a feeling she would rather take a low-key approach in her life,maybe run a hair salon..no,wait...she did that already

Iola sure was on top of the world during her WFAA heyday, but that ended over two decades ago. She is unfortunately a spent force now, the victim of questionable career choices and sometimes flakey behavior. Her long absence from any high profile position in DFW caused her light to fade, as well.

Remmber in the mid-70s she was offered an anchor position in Detroit. The audition and interview drew quite a bit of attention in Dallas. Finally after a long deliberation (and no doubt quite a bit of sweetening the deal by Channel 8) she declined the offer from Detroit. She indeed ruled Dallas TV then and the front page headline in the DMN simply read "IOLA STAYS." That was indeed an example of having it all. Unfortunate to see how her star indeed not only faded, but just quickly burned out....and fell.

This is almost ancient history. However, when I was in Dallas in the late 80's and early 90's, people were still talking about Iola. IIRC, I heard that she had some sort of debilitating accident and chose to start a business in Denton or somewhere like that. What was that all about?
