    I met her around three years ago, at an event. She is a friend of a friend. She was truly one of the nicest people I’ve ever talked to. We had a conversation for around ten minutes or so, until she was whisked off to do photos. She was gracious, classy and funny. Everything you hope she would be. There is no story to this, simply sharing that she is as wonderful as one night imagine
  • Not only is she still beautiful, her mannerisms still retain and reflect Jeannie's sweet and charming disposition that millions across the globe fell in love with. What a woman!!
  • I loved that they finally got together. I remember running home from school to make sure I didn’t miss reruns of the episodes and I couldn’t wait for them to finally be together. Season 5 is still my favorite and the one I rewatch the most

    Some years ago I sent Barbara Eden a letter thanking her for her performance(s). I did not ask for anything, but a couple of weeks later I received an envelope from her with an autographed photograph of herself as Jeanie. What a class act she is!

    She looks remarkable. What a beauty. Barbara Eden and Elizabeth Montgomery will always be my favorites.
  • Thank you Barbara and Larry for soooo much joy as a young teen and now as a middle ager! Love ya'll forever! You are a critical part of my childhood.
  • I'm a die hard fan of this and I used to watch it when I was a kid. Today it's the year 2019 and I'm still watching it. Thanks to YouTube for allowing all the series in full 💜🎀
  • How can anyone not love Barbara Eden she is and always will be a goddess to me. Such a sweet person.
  • The fact that she embraces the Jeannie character instead of denouncing it speaks volumes.

    This woman is all class. I grew up watching IDOJ and it remains my happy place. She lost her only son, and unfortunately, I lost my son as well, when he was 23. Barbara carries on, as we have to, and I will always hold her close to my heart. xo

    Growing up this was my favorite show. I always loved her energy, enthusiasm and smile. Glad to see she is still doing well and embraces the Jeannie years. I still watch the reruns even now (2023). Larry and her made a great team and it was sad to see the show end when it did.

    I absolutely ADORE Barbara Eden. She is LEGENDARY!
  • Her voice is so powerful and her eyes and her smile, and all about her............one in a million.
  • I meant Miss Eden after seeing her here in Kansas in a play, and afterwards I got the chance to meet her. She could not have been more sweet. We even took a picture together with our backs against each other doing the Jeannie pose! An amazingly humble, talented and beautiful individual!!

    The most beautiful lady in the history of TV.. Jeannie was in a class all by herself.
