Barbara Eden has been acting for an incredible seven decades and is still going strong at the age of 91.

Despite having been on our screens for 10 years before winning that role, the actress, singer, and producer is most known for her role in “I Dream of Jeannie,” which made its premiere in 1965.

Generations of TV fans have watched the classic 1960s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, about an astronaut who brings home a 2,000-year-old female genie.

Fans tuned in and laughed despite the ridiculousness of the notion thanks to Barbara Eden, the gorgeous and talented actress who played Jeannie.

Fans might find it hard to believe, but Barbara is 91 years old right now!

Even though she hasn’t appeared on television in a while wearing her notorious harem costume, she’s still going strong and staying busy.

Barbara’s life hasn’t always been straightforward, though.

Barbara Eden was born in Tucson, Arizona, in the United States, in 1931. After her parents’ divorce, she moved to San Francisco, where she enrolled in the Conservatory of Music to begin her singing studies.

Barbara played in local bands when she was a young girl in Golden Gate City’s bars. But she ultimately decided to pursue acting as well.

My mother told me, “Barbara, you don’t sound like you mean a word you’re singing.” I think you should also pursue acting studies. To Closer Weekly, Eden recalled.

After realizing acting was a suitable fit for her, she moved to Los Angeles and began appearing on some of the best shows of the 1950s.

In 1955, she made her first appearance on American television as a semiregular guest on The Johnny Carson Show, but it was her role in the legendary fantasy sitcom “I Dream of Jeannie” that propelled her to prominence.

Arizona native Larry Hagman portrayed astronaut and United States Air Force Captain Anthony “Tony” Nelson, who released the seductive genie Jeannie from her bottle.

“We just got along. We moved to the same beat. Eden told Closer Weekly that no matter what we did, the same information came to light.

I adored him so much. It takes some work to properly warm up to some actors. you put it in a separate mental compartment after that. But with Larry, I never had to. He was there constantly.

She played the role for five years, playing both Jeannie’s evil sister and her mother on the program. Jeannie’s success was aided by Eden’s harem costume, which at the time was a touch risqué for television.

On Today, she claimed that “NBC executives got very scared” around the time of the show’s 50th anniversary. They established strict guidelines for the navel.

Eden stated that it was actually a different, far earlier interview with the Hollywood Reporter that led to the legend’s propagation after her friend and columnist Mike Connolly started making fun of her about it.

“It rapidly caught on like wildfire when Mike entered the room and started making fun of my belly button. We would laugh as I teased him back, but I had no idea it would develop into something.

Many others, including well-known admirers like John F. Kennedy, who texted her his phone number, and Elvis Presley, saw Eden as a TV sex icon because to the stylish ensemble.

The actress admitted in her 2011 autobiography, Jeannie Out of the Bottle, “I binned the piece of paper, but I wish I still had it.”

Eden is still going strong at age 91 and has been in more than 50 movies.

Her most recent movie, My Adventures with Santa, which was released in 2019, featured her as Mrs. Claus. Melissa Gardner portrayed the lead in the stage adaptation of “Love Letters” in the same year the movie was made.

You exclaim, “I feel young!” Barbara was quoted on page 6 as feeling lucky to hold the position she did. “I feel horrible for people like my poor father who have to go to work every day at a job they detest. I enjoy my work. Even now, I struggle.

Barbara reported that she had continued to attend to the gym, do spin classes, and lift weights up until a few years ago. Now she receives a home visit from a trainer to help her with resistance training, and they take a stroll together.

I have a lot of friends, the TV legend said. I’m a fairly social person.

In actuality, she is expected to show up in March 2022.

In a lighthearted tone, she said, “If I’m around, I’ll be there, I really like it.”

Barbara enjoys writing children’s books as well as performing. Barbara and the Djinn is a book she co-wrote about a young girl named Barbara who meets a “charming and wizardly Genie” who leads her on adventures somewhat resembling those in her well-known role.

She believes that since “now all they do is look at telephones,” her books would help kids recall the importance of reading.

Barbara rejects the idea that modern viewers would find “I Dream of Jeannie” a touch dated.

She said, “This is a timeless idea, so hurry up.” Try “One Thousand and One Nights” instead. It’s a lovely, wonderful fantasy.

She was in command, let’s face it, you get it. She was by no means compliant.

Barbara Eden has enjoyed a wonderful life, thanks to her optimistic outlook and excitement. She provides evidence that age is just a number.
