BARBARA EDEN – 89 YEARS OLD

Barbara Eden became an overnight sensation when she led I Dream of Jeannie from 1965 to 1970. She started to conquer the small screen when she had a recurring role on The Johnny Carson Show. Since then, she began to have several televisions shows, from I Love Lucy to Crossroads to How to Marry a Millionaire. Eden’s first public performance was singing in the church choir. Later, as a teenager, she sang in a local band in a nightclub for $10 per night.

In 1988, it was no surprise that Eden managed to have her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Eden was not just a simple star. She earned an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of West Los Angeles School of Law. She also wrote and released a book, Jeannie Out of the Bottle, in 2011. Jeannie Out of the Bottle is Eden’s memoir. In this book, Eden tells about her 50 years of personal life and career in Hollywood, including her childhood and her fame in the early 20s.
