- Syd Barrett's girlfriend in 1969. She is most famous for being the model on the Syd Barrett album: 'The Madcap Laughs'.
- Nicknamed Iggy the Eskimo/the Inuit, it was rumored she was part Inuit.
- Born Evelyn Joyce to major Harry Charlton Joyce, an officer in the British army, and Angela (or Angelina) Chawngpuii from Mizoram (North-East of India). Her mother gave her the indigenous name Laldawngliani, meaning "gift of the gods", in a language Iggy never spoke.
- Mizo actress and model.
- Iggy had two younger siblings: Stephen and Elizabeth Anne.
- In the 1960s she worked at Granny Takes a Trip, the "first psychedelic boutique in Groovy London of the 1960s", as a shop assistant.
- The legend was that Iggy vanished all of a sudden after she broke with Barrett, but she just wasn't traceable on the Floydian radar any more. In those days it was enough to move a couple of blocks where she frequented other, equally alternative and underground, circles. There were painters, musicians, actors, movie directors...
- In the mid-seventies psychedelic tomfoolery was over and Iggy had to look for a job. She worked on a horse-farm for a while and met her future husband there. According to the painter Duggie Fields, she got married in 1978 to a rich guy from Chelsea and led a "decent" life after that. They relocated to a small village in the Horsham district of West Sussex, where she worked in a local supermarket.
