Barbara Eden is an American film and television icon for her starring role in the 1960’s sitcom I Dream Of Jeannie, and she went back in time this past weekend at the Life Ball in Vienna, Austria.
The 78-year-old took the stage in her iconic costume from the hit show on Saturday, and she was accompanied by a very prominent guest. Former United States President Bill Clinton was also on stage with Eden as she stunned the crowd in her “Jeannie” costume.
The well-known actress is never far from the spotlight when she makes appearances, and Eden surely had all eyes facing her after taking the stage in her old look, which she sported for five-years while working on the hit television show from 1965-70.
Barbara Eden left the fantasy sitcom in 1970 after the show ended, but it was only the beginning as it’s popularity grew even larger over the following decade and into the 1980’s. The show’s success eventually led to two films, which Eden starred in both.
The first movie, named I Dream of Jeannie… Fifteen Years Later, appeared in 1985 and included all of the original cast outside of Larry Hagman, who played the interesting role of astronaut Anthony “Tony” Nelson during the 1960’s sitcom.
The second film was named I Still Dream of Jeannie, which released in 1991 . Ever since the most recent film, Eden has appeared in five movies, three television shows, and she also made a cameo in A Very Brady Sequel, a spin-off of another popular TV show which everyone’s familiar with called The Brady Bunch.
This past Saturday, Eden brought back her inner- “Jeannie” and she rocked the costume as if she was on set back in the 1960’s. Here’s a photo of Eden smiling to the crowd that she posted on her Twitter page.
