Barbara Eden is 92 and still enjoying a successful career over 50 years after ‘I Dream of Jeannie’

Barbara Eden, 91, has been acting for an incredible seven decades and is still going strong.

The actress, singer, and producer is best known for her role in “I Dream of Jeannie,” which premiered in 1965, even though she had been on our screens ten years earlier.

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

Despite the absurdity of the premise, viewers tuned in and laughed because of Barbara Eden, the gorgeous and talented actress who played Jeannie.

Fans may find it difficult to believe, but Barbara is 91 years old!

Although she hasn’t been seen on television in her classic harem attire in a while, she’s still alive and well.

Barbara’s life, however, has not always been easy.

Barbara Eden was born in Tucson, Arizona, in the United States, in 1931. After her parents split, she moved to San Francisco and began studying singing at the Conservatory of Music.

As a kid in Golden Gate City, Barbara used to participate in small bands in neighborhood nightclubs. But she eventually decided to pursue acting as well.

“‘Barbara, you don’t sound like you mean a word you’re singing,’ my mother observed. “I believe you should study acting as well,” Eden recalled.
