Exclusive: Barbara Eden Shines At 94 - 'I Dream Of Jeannie' Legend Wows With Timeless Glam On Her Birthday Bash!

Barbara Eden’s Birthday Glow Lights Up Hollywood

Los Angeles is buzzing with birthday love for Barbara Eden, the eternal genie of our dreams, who just hit 94 with a vibe that’s straight-up SoCal summer energy. The 'I Dream of Jeannie' icon celebrated her big day by popping up on Bill Maher’s 'Club Random' podcast, and let’s just say, she’s still granting wishes with that ageless charm.

Maher, the HBO big shot, couldn’t hide his excitement, finally meeting the 'genie of his boyhood dreams' in person. It’s been 55 years since 'I Dream of Jeannie' wrapped its run, but Eden’s star power hasn’t dimmed one bit - she’s still got that Hollywood red carpet sparkle.

Spilling Secrets of That Iconic Genie Look

Dishing on the podcast, Eden took us back to the groovy ‘60s, spilling tea on her iconic pink costume that had hearts racing from 1965 to 1970. Turns out, that midriff-baring getup was bolder than a Malibu sunset, but network rules kept things PG - no belly button on display, folks!

'I had pantyhose on, I had panties, I had a bra,' Eden revealed, laughing about how covered up she actually was under that daring ensemble. It’s a classic LA story - looking like a million bucks while playing by the old-school rules.

'I’m just thrilled to still be here, sharing these memories with fans who’ve kept the magic alive all these years,' Eden shared with a smile.

Behind-the-Scenes Rules and Unspoken Romance

Eden also dropped some behind-the-scenes gems that even die-hard fans might’ve missed. Back in the day, there was a strict no-go on showing her character’s magical bottle in her 'master' Larry Hagman’s bedroom - gotta keep that genie mystique, right?

Then there’s the big question: why didn’t her character and Hagman’s astronaut ever seal the deal? Eden broke it down for Maher, explaining the fantasy twist. 'She wasn’t real. She was an entity. Genies are not human, and she thought she was, and he knew she wasn’t,' she said, leaving Maher (and us) a little heartbroken over the unrequited love story.

It’s pure vintage Hollywood drama, served with a side of nostalgia. Barbara Eden at 94 is still the queen of Tinseltown tales, reminding us why we’ve been under her spell for decades. Here’s to more birthdays with this LA legend!
