BARBARA EDEN | 90

You probably know Barbara Eden as Jeannie in the hit TV series I Dream of Jeannie. Barbara is famous for being an actress and a singer, who released an album, titled Miss Barbara, for the record label Dot Records. Eden’s first public performance was singing for the church choir, where she did solos. Eden started her career on television as a semiregular in 1955’s The Johnny Carson Show.

In the Hollywood sense of discovery, she came to prominence when she starred in a play with James Drury. With her contribution to the industry, Barbara received critical recognition in 1988 as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She had been through a lot of heartaches throughout her life, but what broke her heart the most was when she lost her son, Matthew Ansara. No amount of recognition or credit can take the pain Barbara felt, but we hope she has been feeling better since. It’s too sad to see Eden far from the acting career nowadays. Tearful!
