Eden Marks 94th Birthday With Rare Outing
As per photos obtained and published by People magazine, for her daytime outing, the actress wore a red long-sleeve shirt paired with a red-and-white skirt, tan shoes, and white sunglasses.
Her radiant look quickly reminded fans why she remains a Hollywood legend.
A fan page dedicated to the actress also shared a message on social media:
“Let’s all take a moment to wish our favorite blonde, entertainment icon and Hollywood legend Barbara Eden a very VERY Happy Birthday today!”
Tributes From Fans & Celebrities Flood Social Media
Tributes poured in across social media for Eden’s milestone birthday. Stars including Paris Hilton, Jennie Garth, and Caroline Rhea joined fans in sending their love. Rhea, Eden’s Sabrina the Teenage Witch co-star, commented, “Happy birthday, ageless beauty.”
The fan page also revealed that Eden will soon appear on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast. In a clip teasing her upcoming guest spot, Maher is heard saying, “You’re making a 12-year-old boy very happy.”
The Legacy of ‘I Dream of Jeannie’
Eden starred as Jeannie, a magical genie who served Larry Hagman’s character, in the NBC sitcom “I Dream of Jeannie” from 1965 until 1970. She remains the last surviving member of the original cast.
Before her iconic role, Eden appeared on “The Jimmy Carson Show”, “I Love Lucy”, and “The Andy Griffith Show”. Over the years, she built a loyal fanbase, writing her memoir Jeanie Out of the Bottle and a children’s book, Barbara and the Djinn.
Her fans, she says, are still what inspire her most. “They’re the best fans in the whole world,” Eden told an audience at a fan convention. “When I get up on the big stage, I speak, and then I do the Q&A, I’m sometimes surprised. They know more than I do about my work!”
Eden Shares Secrets to Longevity & Health
At 94, Eden is showing no signs of slowing down. In a past interview with People, she credited her joy for her work as her biggest secret to longevity. “All through the years, I’ve noticed that many people don’t realize what a joy it is and what a gift it is to be able to work in an arena that you really love,” she said.
The actress also stays active with lighter workouts. “I used to do spinning classes and then do weights with a trainer,” Eden told Fox News. “When Covid hit, that ended my heavy workouts. Now I have a stationary bicycle and I lift five pounds. I use very lightweight weights, but they’re good for your bones.”
Nearly six decades later, Eden continues to impress fans with the same magic and charm that made her a television icon almost 60 years ago.
