Barbara Eden

Look who I bumped into this past weekend! Ann Margret! Always so much fun and energy! -Barbara #annmargret #barbaraeden

Yesterday darling Marlee Matlin @MarleeMatlin stopped by my table at the autograph show! Such a darling! -B

Look who dropped by my table earlier! Tanya Lemani! How fun! -B Fans of I Dream of Jeannie will remember her as the belly dancer in 1st season episode "The Americanization of Jeannie." Jeannie was not amused by her belly dancing that caught Capt. Nelson's eye at dinner. Tanya is a world traveled belly dancer who has danced with Elvis Presley, seen on Star Trek, I Dream of Jeannie and other productions.

The October photo for next year is one of my favorites from the 2027 Calendar! Halloween fun! -Barbara barbaraeden.net/calendars/29… #idreamofjeannie #barbaraeden

Opening the vault! Scanned from the original negative, this late 1950's "pre-fame" photo of our darling Barbara hasn't seen the light of day in decades! Barbara graciously granted our request today to share it here with everyone! -Team Eden "If you think they will enjoy seeing it, go for it!" -Barbara #1950s #hollywood

We don’t often think about the passage of time when we’re living in the moment. While today marks the 61st anniversary of I Dream of Jeannie, 61 years into the future was the furthest thought from my mind on that frigid day in December of 1964. That was when we filmed the pilot on the beach at Point Dume! When you’re filming on location, you don’t think about anything other than work. After all, daylight is changing, shadows are moving, wind is blowing. We were there to get the shots and get the job done on schedule. Between hitting our marks and getting the shots, the biggest memory that stands out that day is that it was so horribly cold! There I was in a harem costume on the beach in December, shivering! It was so cold my lips were blue! I look back now, at that day, and I truly cannot quite express how amazing it is to me that 61 years later, Jeannie is still with me. I had no idea what was starting on that beach, or how it would find a home in the hearts of so many, for so many years. I also had no expectation that Jeannie, a delightful mythological, classic entity, would still be here! But she is, just over my shoulder, watching over everything! I think of those magical 5 years of my life, where every day was an adventure. Between Larry and Billy and Hayden, and the whole crew, we never knew what would happen! Even with a script in hand, you could never predict everything. From our hilarious guest stars, to being locked in a safe and playing the wonderfully mischievous naughty twin sister… I’ve said it many times and I mean it every time; I Dream of Jeannie was often more fun than work. Here’s to 61 years of magic! To all the laughter, all the joy, all the silliness and adventures that remain with me in my heart today. Here’s to you, the fans! Your love, dedication and fascination with the show keeps the magic alive. I cannot thank you enough for the love you’ve shown me and for the memories you’ve helped keep bright. Happy Anniversary Jeannie, still bringing laughs, granting wishes and reminding me of what a joy it was. -Barbara Eden

Bob Mackie was one of those people who knew how to make you feel like glittering magic, all you had to do was slip into one of his creations. While the entertainment industry needed smoke and mirrors, all Bob needed was a few yards of sheer fabric, a needle and thread … and beads, lots and lots of beads! When you wore one of Bob’s creations, you felt like a million dollars. Bob’s imagination, designs and creations will continue in legend. Bob, your genius will continue to sparkle like the millions of beads you meticulously placed on those of us fortunate enough to have known you. I still have my gowns and treasure them as much as the day I first put them on. Rest well Bob! -Barbara Eden

Pre-orders for Barbara's official, limited edition 2027 wall calendar end tonight! They sell out fast so hurry! -Team Eden bit.ly/EdenCalendars

It’s okay everyone! I’m okay! Oh, my goodness there has been a bit of miscommunication. I’m not suffering from an illness; my doctor very recently prescribed a brand-new medication that turned out to have some nasty side effects. Due to the discomfort, my doctor ordered me to remain at home until it can be sorted out. What awful timing for this to happen! My deepest appreciation to everyone for the concern. This is just a speedbump! I expect to be out and about as soon as I’m given the go-ahead! Again, my love and thanks to everyone for all the concern. -Barbara Eden

The perfect way to spend the year with Barbara Eden! 2027 is right around the corner! -Team Eden WWW.BARBARAEDEN.NET

I know I speak for many when I state that there is now a void in the heart of Americana... no, the whole world, that may never be filled. Dolly, words cannot define the enormity of your talent, the breadth of your kindness, the depth of your compassion and the expanse in which your legend will carry on in perpetuity. It was an honor and privilege to have met you at the Country Music Awards. I knew then as so many others have said; you were not only someone whose smile and presence were larger than life, your heart was even larger. I lift my eyes upward and know that while you've left us here, you're singing amongst the angels, assuredly giving the host of Heaven a run for their money. -Barbara Eden #dollyparton

Oh goodness, what can I say about Shelley Fabares. Dear sweet Shelley. I learned just now of her passing on Saturday. While I'm saddened by the news, I am filled with happy memories of filming "Ride the Wild Surf" with her, Susan Hart and all the boys! Shelley truly was a sweet, good girl. In the acting world you never know what type of people your fellow castmates may be when you start a project. It's always a treat when you find yourself among good, happy people. Us girls all shared a little bungalow on Oahu together and it was more fun than work! The whole group of us were having a ball! My thoughts and condolences to Shelley's husband Mike Farrell and their loved ones. Shelley was a darling woman, a lovely actress and a wonderful singer. -Barbara Eden

Let's all take a moment to wish our favorite lady a very happy birthday! Yep! That's right! Legendary Hollywood icon Barbara Eden celebrates her 95th birthday today! Thanks to Paul Archuleta for the fantastic photo of Ms. Eden taken just over a month ago! Share your birthday wishes, memoires and joy with Barbara today! -Team Eden #BarbaraEden #HappyBirthday #HollywoodIcon #Legendary #idreamofjeannie

I'm saddened and shocked by the news of Hayden Panetierre's passing. Our paths crossed on the convention circuits over the years. She was so sweet, such a lovely girl. Losing someone at such a young age (regardless of the cause) often seems to hurt more and is truly devistating, especially to her family. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. -Barbara Eden

Happy 96th Birthday Clint! Here's to all the fun we had on Rawhide! -Barbara #happybirthday #ClintEastwood #rawhide

This is a perfect pic for today! R2 is probably my favorite droid of all! I hope everyone has a wonderful day today! May the 4th be with you! -Barbara #maythe4thbewithyou #r2d2 #StarWarsDay

Look who’s in town… my friend Mike Gordon (bass guitarist and vocalist, a founding member of the band Phish) and his beautiful daughter Tessa. He is currently performing a three-weekend run at the Sphere in Las Vegas. He and Tessa took a side trip to LA. It had been far too long since we had seen each other, so it was wonderful spending time with both of them last night! -Barbara

So saddened to learn about the sudden passing of Patrick Muldoon who I costarred with in 2019's "My Adventures with Santa." Patrick was a sweet man who was very personable. I enjoyed the time we spent between takes and just enjoying each others company in general during the production of the film. He made the experience even more fun. While the passing of a loved one is never easy, it is especially difficult when it's unexpected and sudden as I understand Patrick's was. My thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends. -Barbara Eden #PatrickMuldoon

All my love and congratulations to @NASA and @NASAArtemis crew (and everyone involved) for a successful mission!!!! Making the impossible look easy! -B #NASA
