Back in the ’60s, boys were at home watching Barbara Eden on the small screen in I Dream of Jeannie and going out to see Connie Stevens on the big screen. However, the two blondes never would share the screen together. Even though they only worked together with Bob Hope to entertain the troops, they have a friendship that has survived many decades.
One that brought them together yesterday looking as beautiful as they did 60 years ago at the start of their careers. Can you believe Eden is 87 and Steven is 81? 80 is the new 40. I am no longer afraid to get old if that is what it is going to look like.
Before Barbara Eden had a job that only a Jeannie could make happen, she had another one that every girl in Hollywood wished they could have. How stunning was the 25-year-old in that 1957 episode of I Love Lucy?
Yesterday, when Eden was on Live with Kelly and Ryan, she told them how Lucille Ball was really nice to the green actress. In fact, she reveals that the legend wanted to give her contract, but Fox offered her one before the redhead had a chance. I wonder who would have played Jeannie had Eden turned down Fox?
Hallmark Channel is gearing up for wonderful Christmas season full of magical movies. One of them stars Denise Richards, Patrick Muldoon, Jamie Luner and the never aging Barbara Eden. I don’t care what this still untitled movie is about, I declare now that it is a going to be a holiday classic for years to come. Who is not going to want to watch the four of them in one film?
When you were growing up, did you dream of hanging with Jeanie in her bottle? Did you want to work at a radio station like WKRP, just so you could know someone like Jennifer? Did you wish your mother was as rockin’ as Shirley Partridge? We all did! Let’s be real.
Here are the three sitcom Goddesses hanging out recently and Loni Anderson, Barbara Eden and Shirley Jones all look phenomenal. They could easily do a sitcom together and it would be a huge hit. Who wouldn’t want to see these funny beauties back on our TVs every week? Especially because they have not aged a day since their shows ended. Which technically they haven’t because they still all air in syndication.
Seriously, don’t they all look sweller than swell and hotter than Hell!
Today is Barbara Eden‘s 85th birthday, but you would never know it looking at her. She looks like someone half her age.
Seriously, she looks so fabulous, I want know what was in that Jeannie bottle she used to live in back in the ’60s. Especially since she hasn’t aged a day since I Dream of Jeannie. I dream of knowing that secret.
Happy Birthday Mrs Eden. Keep ageing backwards.
