Barbara Eden

Fifty-five years after she emerged from a cloud of smoke and vowed her devotion to a stranded astronaut in NBC’s I Dream of Jeannie, Barbara Eden is still nailing her pink harem pants at the age of 89. She has appeared in several other projects over the past five decades, but will always be recognized as the blonde-haired genie in a bottle. Eden published her memoir Jeannie Out of the Bottle in 2011 in which she recounted her early stardom and friendships with everyone from Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe to John F. Kennedy, Jr., Lucille Ball, and Desi Arnaz.

She also speaks about her working relationship with Larry Hagman, as well as her three marriages and hardships in life. More recently, she starred as Mrs. Claus in My Adventures with Santa co-starring Denise Richards and Patrick Muldon. Barbara Eden resides with her architect/real estate developer husband Jon Eicholtz in their investment home in the Benedict Canyon area of Beverly Hills.
