I Dream of Jeannie

Irresistible Barbara Eden

I still enjoy watching this show.

BE: If gentlemen prefer blondes then I'm a blonde that prefers gentlemen.

It was her starring role in the NBC TV comedy series, I Dream of Jeannie (1965) where Barbara Eden immediately gained international acclaim.

Although most remembered for her role as "Jeannie", Barbara Eden has starred in more than 20 theatrical feature films and made-for-television films for at least four different movie studios: 20th Century Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Columbia Studios, and Universal Studios,

Shortly after shooting began on the pilot episode for I Dream of Jeannie (1965), it was learned that she was pregnant. Director Gene Nelson invented a shot he playfully called the "ATB" ("Above the Baby"). "Sometimes," he stated, "We'd have to follow Jeannie's arm across the room".

BE: [on Jeannie's pink outfit and how the NBC executives forbid her navel from being exposed] They became very strict about the navel...very strict about the pantaloons. They had to be very shadowed so you couldn't see my legs.
