Monday Memory - Barbara Eden
Who could forget Jeannie? A whole generation of men grew up wondering what her… belly button looked like.
In addition to I Dream of Jeannie, Barbara also starred in Harper Valley PTA. So what has Barbara been up to lately? According to imdb.com, not too much.
In the past year she was credited for a couple of television roles, and she toured with Hal Linden (of Barney Miller fame) in A.R. Gurney’s theatre piece, Love Letters.
Barbara Eden (“I Dream of Jeannie”) and Hal Linden (“Barney Miller”) have been set to continue their 2007 national playdates launching their new spring tour costarring in the romantic, two-actor stage show “Love Letters,” written by A.R.
Gurney and produced by Scott Stander for GoGiGo Productions. Previously, Eden played opposite her erstwhile “Jeannie” costar Larry Hagman, and with Joe Bologna in other “Love Letters” productions.
It’s been about 28 years since Jeannie went off the air, but Barbara is still looking good.
You can find some good Amazon coupons in case you want to order some dvd’s of the series that Barbara has starred in too.
I am a huge Barbara Eden fan, and I wish she would make some new t.v. appearances or movies…of course, that is her discretion and choice. Perhaps she is enjoying the “time-off” for now. I agree, she still looks great…I saw her in “The Odd Couple” a couple years ago, and could’nt believe how good she looked live on stage! I have been her fan for many, many years, and it was a blessing to see her perform on stage. YAY BARBARA!!!
