‘She looks amazing. I want to know her secret,’ one wrote. ‘Ageless beauty for sure,’ someone else added.

‘You must be a genie for real!’ another fan joked.
‘Whatever you are doing, you keep doing it; because you look AMAZING,’ someone else added.
In 2024, Eden shared her secret to staying in shape.
‘I used to work out all the time,’ she told Fox News. ‘I used to do spinning classes and then do weights with a trainer… 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.’
Eden also said she likes to walk. ‘If you can walk briskly, which suits me just fine, that’s good for you. It’s good for your knees and ankles. I find it better than running,’ she said.
The actress has also focused on keeping healthy eating habits.
‘I was lucky to have a mother and father who were conscious of eating well and living. My mother’s mantra was “moderation of all things.” That’s how they lived, and that’s how I’ve lived.’

She starred as a genie in a bottle who fell in love with her ‘master,’ an astronaut played by Larry Hagman.
She is the only surviving member of the main cast of the Emmy-nominated sitcom.
Eden got her start as a skit actress on The Johnny Carson Show in 1956. She went on to have small parts in I Love Lucy and The Andy Griffith Show before being cast as Jeannie.
The show was inspired by the popularity of Bewitched, starring another beautiful blonde, Elizabeth Montgomery, which had debuted in 1964 on a rival network.
Her costume was a bit scandalous for the era. She was allowed to show her torso, but television standards forbid her from showing her navel. The belly button ban was finally lifted in 1983, when the rule was suspended.
Eden wrote her memoir, Jeannie Out of the Bottle, in 2011, and published a children’s book, Barbara and the Djinn, in 2021.
