Barbara Eden, renowned for her role in “I Dream of Jeannie,” paid tribute to her “sweet” former co-star, Patrick Muldoon, following his unexpected passing on Sunday.
On Monday, Eden, now 94, expressed her sorrow on Instagram, recalling her time with Muldoon on the 2019 film “My Adventures with Santa.”
She accompanied her heartfelt words with a photograph featuring herself, Muldoon, and their co-stars Denise Richards and Erick Devine.
Eden fondly remembered, “Patrick was a kind-hearted individual with a friendly demeanor.”
Reflecting on their shared moments, she added, “I cherished our time together between takes, enjoying each other’s company during filming. His presence added joy to the experience. The loss of a loved one is always challenging, but it’s even harder when it’s as unexpected as Patrick’s passing.”
Finally, the actress shared that her “thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends.”
Eden joins Muldoon’s former “Days of Our Lives” co-star Lisa Rinna in sharing public tributes for the late star in light of the sad news.
The news of his passing reportedly hit his ex, Denise Richards, very hard as sources told the Daily Mail the “Wild Things” actress is “devastated” and “can’t stop crying” on Monday.
Muldoon died at age 57 on Sunday following a sudden heart attack.
Per TMZ, his sister, Shana Muldoon-Zappa, claimed Patrick had spent Sunday morning with his partner, Miriam Rothbart, at their Beverly Hills home before he went to hop in the shower.
Because he had been taking too long, Rothbart decided to check on him. She later discovered him unconscious on the bathroom floor.
Muldoon was pronounced dead on the scene when paramedics arrived.
