Seven decades into the entertainment business, Barbara Eden, the legendary actress best known for her part in “I Dream of Jeannie,” never fails to enthrall audiences. Her career at 91 years old is proof of her continuing brilliance.

Born in Tucson, Arizona, in 1931, Eden first studied singing before deciding to pursue acting. Before getting her legendary part as Jeannie in the 1960s sitcom, she appeared on a number of 1950s series.

Larry Hagman and her had an obvious chemistry in “I Dream of Jeannie.” For five years, Eden played Jeannie, even assuming other roles on the show. Legendary in its day, her harem attire helped her become a TV sex idol, admired by the likes of Elvis Presley and John F. Kennedy.

Barbara Eden is 91 years old and still acting in movies like “My Adventures with Santa” (2019). She writes kids’ books as well, stressing the value of reading in the digital era.

Eden thinks “I Dream of Jeannie” still appeals to audiences today because of its ageless charm. She keeps her vigor by working out and socializing while pursuing her love of performing. One real motivation is Barbara Eden’s ongoing participation in the entertainment industry.
