Named official hostess of Fairbanks and honorary hostess of Alaska, McGown was featured in an article inReader's Digestand a broadcast of the popular biographical television programThis Is Your Life, and was the basis for the character Bridie Ballantyne in the 1958 novelIce Palaceand its 1960 film adaptation.
