- Barbara Eden sat down with ABC7's George Pennacchio to reflect on her iconic role in "I Dream of Jeannie," and other career highlights, including working with Elvis Presley and meeting a young JFK before he was president. abc7.com/barbara-eden-i-dream...
She looks fabulous for 92
This is how 92 looks
she's much to beautiful and classy
For playboy magazine..
She's smoking with her clothes on,
Never mind with he clothes off..
@@bethr8756 With facial enhancements of course ...
She looks fabulous. Period.
@@christiemoore8545 Oh that last word, that ended a long, long time ago ... Wink, wink ...
At 92 certainly still beautiful!!
I think when you have a good soul it resonate out..Like Betty White and Dolly Parton and Cicely Tyson
barbara is living off of her dead sons years ....i notice that whenever a mothers child or children die young...the mother will usually live a long healthy life and get her childrens extra years...her son died young so....she probably got a lot of years from him
Weird. @@lesliehiggins3317
Absolutely! I have a few ideas… 🫠🫠🫠
92??? She has great genes.
I met her on an airplane, sat next to her for 3 hours about 10 years ago and she is one of the nicest, most sincere and authentic people I've ever met. I'd never guess she's 92 here. Wow.
Wow,
Sounds like a positive testament to her character. She always seemed like she 'would' be like that. Thanks for the confirmation and sharing what you did.
OMG-- I sat next to her too, but she smacked me in the face when I said, How old are you, about 90?" Nah just kidding. I sat next to her from JFK to LAX and she was really nice because as it turns out, we have a mutual friend.
This is cool
When I was 12 and my Dad was in Vietnam, I fell in love with Jeannie and sat glued to the TV trying to watch every show
I just turned 70 (my God, I feel like something is wrong, I can't be that old. Seems like yesterday I was 20 and on a Heavy Jet Flight Crew in the US Air Force flying all over the world. I will never make it to her age. I would consider 80 a God's Gift and be happy to have lived that long.
At 92 she has her looks, her memory, she can get around. That’s a true blessing. I watched I Dream if Jeannie as a kid in the 70’s. Such good times.
She is incredible, aging in a better way. It's a shame that the other actors are no longer with us.
I loved watching it after school.
Me too!!
It inspired me to want to be sexy when i grew up into a woman ;)
@@conditionallyunconditional5691 I Dream of Jeannie followed by Bewitched was daily viewing for many years in Australia.
How in the world is she still that stunning at 92? Maybe she is actually a Jeannie.
Genie
Some cosmetic surgery but perhaps not getting carried away with it so she still looks like a beautiful human being.
She's genetically well-blessed. In SO MANY ways...
Man, when I was younger I was younger I wanted a "Jeannie" like her sooo bad! 😂
@@JaxNole61sick
I can't believe how good she looks at 92! And still wonderfully sharp & lucid.
I tried to think of a woman as pretty as Barbara Eden. I grew up watching her in the sixties. There is no prettier woman that I can think of.
MANY women are at 100 and MORE ! 😅😊😮❤
She certainly is! The stereo type of the frail, sickly, confused older person is steadily disappearing. More & more people are living past their 90s in excellent health, independently living.
@@grace-shantif2073 that's not the point. she looks wonderful at 92. many older people do not look as good as her at her age
She took care of herself. She aged well.
If she is 92 in that interview then my jaw is dropping. Barbara looks stunning in this interview. WOW!!!
She is such a national treasure...I wish her continued health.
Such a lady. Never spoke bad about anyone..class act. God Bless her.
Agreed.
Big change from today's 'Stars' that can't wait to trash their co-stars as soon as they think they can get away with it.
This is comforting and refreshing.
I wish other celebrities could learn from this... 'The Public' really doesn't want to hear it.
Not Really.
Well, apart from Burl Ives!
Kind word about everyone!
That's exactly my take-away from this interview.
The interviewer did his homework and he also politely let her speak uninterrupted. Excellent interview!
She seems to be as sweet and lovely inside as she is outside.
The interviewer is George Pennacchio.
@@debbabe2254 he is good. she is just as I imagined, humble and sweet. good story teller. but how beautiful! Ages so gracefully.
@@debbabe2254 thank you for his name, he is a first interviewer. And they have great chemistry
When I was 15 years old the Australian exchange student lived with my family. We had to take her to Pittsburgh to the airport when she was flying back to Australia, and we saw Barbara Eden at the airport when we were dropping her off.
It turned out she was on a local Pittsburgh program that day so she had flown in for that appearance.
We saw her at airport security collecting her things and she was so beautiful. She was wearing a yellow pants and boots and I’ll never forget it. She was smiling and talking with the security people, she lit up the entire area, just standing there.
When I moved to California, I actually saw her in passing once in Beverly Hills. She is an elegant, classy, beautiful woman. Wishing her many more years to come. 🥰
What a beautiful story!!!
Her story tells us a lot about life. You can be very successful and then experience so much tragedy, but she managed to get through it all.
I met Ms. Eden at a USO dinner in Washington, DC, about 40 years ago and I will never forget her. Ms. Eden is gracious, kind, and a wonderful human being. We had a great conversation as if we were old friends. She is still beautiful, inside and out.
Barbara Eden is a Class Act!
She's the most underrated beautiful woman of her time, I'm guessing because she wasn't scandalous like Marylin Monroe, she always had a clean reputation, and in my opinion, she's the most beautiful beautiful woman that I have ever seen, her body was perfect and so was her face, perfect curves, most beautiful blonde ever... Yeah, Marylin Monroe would have been good for a one night stand ,but Barbara Eden would have been the kind of woman a smart guy would want to marry and hold on forever... And right now, she's definitely the most beautiful 92 year old woman alive...
92 looking 62 wow she's still looking beautiful!!!
Crazy thing...her voice quality also sounds much younger. Healthy living.
I don't know about 62. I'd say maybe 75.
Not 62. I say 60.
THIS GUY ... THIS is how you conduct an interview.
She still looks beautiful at 92 but doesn’t look her age at all! What a good memory she has. Love her!
Good lord.
If any of us make it to 92 in that shape it's a miracle.
Yep!🤜🏻🤛🏻
Exercise (brain and physical), hydration, and most importantly: sleep. That’s what does it. Most of my family has made it to 98+.
and plastic surgery
@@iaclassic Jealousy is a bad take, old lady.
@@iaclassic if she has it’s been minimal.
Holy wow, she looks absolutely radiant. Great to see her.
This is unreal! She looks 40 years younger than her age, Absolutely beautiful.
Because , she is a genius, really she is 2000 years ago
My uncle was close friends with her in the 60’s and 70’s. He was her hairdresser for some time. When he was staying with us for a few months, she called our house to talk to him. I answered the phone and was so shocked at 8 years old. 😂
I met Barbara Eden once back in '79 or '80. I worked at a western clothing store at the MGM Grand in Reno, NV. When she walked into the store, I recognized her immediately. I don't recall our conversation. What I remember is her grace, beauty, humbleness, and absolute kindness. She eminated warmth and genuineness. I was struck at what a wonderful human being she was!
Met her in Las Vegas, NV at MGM Grand. Lovely Lady!! Mid 70's.
I was a waitress in two different restaurants that Larry Hagman ate. That’s all I have to say. 😂
@@Anisky123 did you give him the ol JFK treatment? 😂
@@Anisky123😂
Sharp memory and still gorgeous at 92.
Who doesn't love Barbara Eden? So sweet!
How does Barbara look this good. Not to mention she’s 92 and talks like she’s 29.
She just looks wonderful, natural, I just young. How’s your brain work that great at that age; she’s such a treasure.
God bless Barbara Eden. She has brought pleasure and enjoyment to her public for decades.
She's got it all! Looks, Class, Charm, Grounded, Pure. I hope to see here repeating this interview at 102.
Who knew she was still around???? She should be celebrated and honored somewhere somehow... She is literally a living legend!!
I'm 77 years old and still in love with Barbara. Her loveliness isn't just on the outside, it shines through her eyes like a beacon. So sorry that her private life was rough at times, but that just shows that in spite of being a talented star, she is still a real person. Today's actors have a lot to learn from her about being a class act. Thanks Barbara, for shining your light on all of us! We loved you then and love you now!
Absolutely enchantingly beautiful at 92.... You go Jeannie!
Wow she is so beautiful for 92 , she is a class act.
She is more Beautiful than a *LOT* of people half her age.
Seriously!
Wow, I cannot believe Barbara Eden has hardly aged. She doesn't look 92 at all. Doesn't even look 72! She must have great genes. She seems to be in great mental and physical health. So happy that she is alive and well. May she continue to be strong, healthy, and happy! I have always loved I Dream of Jeannie!
She looks and sounds amazing! Can’t believe she’s 92!
What an amazing memory for her age. What a lovely interview.
Always loved her. I grew up watching the reruns in the 80's. She is humble and dignified.
God, she's always been a star in all terms of the world
Nobody could ever play Barbara Eden in movies. She is an icon.
At 92 she's still gorgeous, funny intelligent..and fully with it. I love her laughter. A wonderful lady.
Barbara Eden is grace, class, beautiful and fun.
Remarkable woman with class! She's amazing, smart, georgous,witty and funny.
Very fluent and articulate
What a woman! She made the world a better place, that's for sure.
Lots of little boys had a huge crush on Barbara back in the I dream of Jeannie days.... she looks amazing, sharp mind and so well spoken. Respect Barbara - great entertainer!!
A lot of big boys, too.
Count me down as one!
I was one of those "little boys"
Barbara Eden and Elizabeth Montgomery. They were both magic and left me spellbound!
She certainly had the body for the genie outfit.
She is such a precious actress! Beautiful and talented.
It’s so wonderful to see her as herself because it validates my feelings as a child that she must’ve been a good person.
Oh my....Now this is a True Lady! Barbara Eden is so naturally and at age 92,just as lovely as she was when she played Jeanie! I was so impressed with this interview. I could sit and listen to her talk and her stories for hours! What a true legend!! Not too many left sadly. We just don't have any actors or actresses like her any more. We still love & Dream of Barbara Eden❤❤
I'm so happy I stumbled onto this interview this evening. Barbara Eden was one of my teenage crushes back in the 60s when she was playing the genie on TV. I always thought she was the greatest and didn't realize how talented she really was. She's had an amazing life and seems to still be enjoying it.
I remember her on an Andy Griffith episode, so funny! She was beautiful but didn't know it.
Yeah, I knew nothing about her singing career. Just Jeannie.
I didn't even see her Andy Griffith appearance until years later.
I hope she enjoys many more healthy birthdays.
She looks fabulous. I can't believe she's 92. Wow. Love what she said about Elvis. She always says nice things about him. Elvis obviously left a big impression on her. ♥
Everyone who ever worked with him said he was a perfect gentleman, kind, thoughtful & respectful.
Wow, what an intelligent, articulate & sweet woman Barbara Eden is ! True class.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is the epitome of class and beauty!
They don’t make them like that anymore!!!😊
What a lovely interview . I think I could have listened to her answer questions for hours. Such a beautiful lady, inside and out.
I had the pleasure of meeting Barbara about a year and a half ago. I got an autograph from her and my picture taken with her.
She was so kind and sweet . ❤
OMG! The exact words I used to descibe her when I met her 50 years ago!! She is exactly the same today!
@tonamiller6850 that's really amazing to hear my friend.
Me as well..I could have listened to her for many more hours.
She is truly *ENCHANTING* 🥰
When is her Birthday? What Astrological Sign is she, just out of curiosity?
I'll always remember David Letterman asking Larry "Bud" Melman to describe the perfect woman.
Bud replied, "Barbara Eden". Along with Barbara Feldon, now 91, two beautiful legendary ladies. ❤
Yes Barbara Feldon! She was on Get Smart right?
"Ohhh, Max!!!
@@sl4983 Yes, the lovely Secret Agent 99. I have 8x10's of 99, The Chief, and 86/99 in my man cave.
Barbra Streisand too.
Barbara Bain.....92 Cinnamon Carter Mission Impossible
Wow, what a voice! I read Barbara Eden's memoir years ago - really good.
I am so happy to see Barbara is still around, loved her growing up, she's my favorite Jeanie.❤🩹🤍💙💙💙💙💙
She's always been one of my favorites. ❤
Barbara Eden is a beautiful human being, inside & out❤ May God continue to bless her🙏🙂
I truly enjoyed this interview!!Barbara Eden is a lovely woman and a true class act ✨💫
What an absolutely exceptional interview!!!
As a child, my favorite show was
I Dream of Jeanie...
And Bewitched...
Magic was the bomb back them!!!
😂❤🎉😂😂😂
Wow, she looks absolutely amazing. It’s hard to believe that somebody that is 92 still looks as beautiful as she always has look. And she’s so sharp in her mind. If she put out a book about how to stay, youthful I’d be one of the first ones to buy it😊❤
I watched "I Dream of Jeannie" when they were new episodes, and I still watch them from time-to-time. The shows are still a lot of fun to watch. There's nothing like them anymore. Bless you, Barbara Eden, and a heartfelt "thank you" for the joy you have brought (and still do!) to thousands 🤗
Such great memories of that show - fun and joy.
Barbara is such a gentle soul.....
You are SO SO LOVED !!
She looks marvellous for 92 I am in awe. She has had her share of heartache. Bless her ❤
The Queen of long lasting beauty !
Beautiful and mentally alert. We should all be so blessed!
So elegant, timeless and beautiful!
I loved this interview, I used to watch Barbara on I Dream of Jeannie when I was a kid in the 80's. What a beautiful human being, humble, classy and sweet. I loved how the interviewer didn't interrupt her and talked about the hard parts of her life with grace. Barbara is amazing! it is a privilege to watch her.
Sooo pretty, so sweet, so genuine. And she was so talented with no ego. A great role model. I hope she has many good years left❤❤❤
Very few people radiate so much love, grace and childlike innocence more so than Barbara Eden. It's no surprise she is so adored by so many through the generations. And despite experiencing the types of heartbreaks in life that would decimate most people, she remains positive with not an ounce of bitterness. And yes, count me as one of tens of millions of males who had a MAJOR crush on her. She's a living doll.
She's still beautiful on the outside because she's beautiful on the inside!
It makes a difference.
Thankyou for entertaining us for decade's! 🤗🖤
It’s so nice to read so many beautiful comments about a star ⭐️, because she’s a kind soul, still beautiful inside and out, we will always Dream of Jeannie❤️
This is one of the best things I’ve seen on CZcams in a long, long time.
Yes! Fascinating, uplifting, and lighthearted, even while discussing the lower points in her life. Fabulous interview with a fabulous person.
I LOVE Barbara Eden!!! There’s no way she’s 92… what a gorgeous woman! Thank you for all the happy times as a child when I watched “I dream of Jeannie” 💜
What a wonderful interview!! Barbara is an absolute treasure. I've always loved her! Not only is she gorgeous and so talented...she is a TRUE lady in every way.
The interviewer is so lucky to have met her.
What a such a humble, kind,trustworthy person.
Still beautiful at 92.
There isn't a red-blooded American male of any age that didn't at some point have a crush on Barbara Eden - twice in my case; in my teens when the show was in syndication and again about 30 years later. She's a little like a real genie in that she does not look her age. What a wonderful woman she is. 💖
OMG! Barbara Eden today? She’s so well preserved 😍🤩😍👍
i like preserves.
barbara is living off of her dead sons years ....i notice that whenever a mothers child or children die young...the mother will usually live a long healthy life and get her childrens extra years...her son died young so....she probably got a lot of years from him
@@lesliehiggins3317 She's not living off her late husband's toupee and that died years ago.
Was her second husband mean to her?
@@drbonesshow1 lame
OMG she is so sweet and still so beautiful !
Great interview! Thanks for all the decades of entertainment. Barbara, you have inspired and entertained millions thanks for the wonderful memories. God bless you!
WOW! She looks amazing, I can’t believe she’s 92. I dream of Jeannie was my favorite
Her memory! Beauty and brains too. What an amazing lady!
I hate to make this just another (unoriginal) comment about her age, but we're talking NINETY-TWO! Sure, she's had some work done, but this is a whole other level. Truly blessed.
Agree..but the work she's had has been very good..she's still her 😊
@@mckenziehellenann Saw her on _Worst Cooks in America_ not that long ago, and she did not look good. So apparently, the work she had done has either "settled" or she had it fixed.
She's fooled everyone by looking older. Genies don't age. She's just so classy she doesn't want to upstage anybody!
@@mckenziehellenannyes, most you can tell obviously having had face. Lifts etc because their faces often get overstretched and they look different while trying to look the same. She looks like she’s in her 60’s….I’m in my 60’s and she looks better than I do. And she dressed impeccably and such nice posture too.
But even more blessed & more importantly than enhancing your looks with cosmetic surgeries/Botox is her health seems to have been sustained in that she is still mobile & has her wits about her mentally. I find that to be most incredible in any person that age. After all, our health is our greatest asset.
What an AMAZINGLY kind, friendly, smart, and gorgeous woman Barbara Eden still is!! She is the epitome of class. And has a great sense of humor! I loved watching I Dream of Jeannie re-runs in the 80's and she has barely aged since they were filmed!!!
She looks amazing for 92. Go Barbara!!💜
Absolutely love her! Still gorgeous at 92!
To this day, I'm still dreaming of Jeannie. ❤
i wish the sixties were here again.
Still creaming on Jeannie, As The National Lampoon put it!
What a truly gracious, gentle, humble, and sweet lady. Talented and smart. All class. ❤
I never watch the videos about performers, but when I saw the title of this one I was curious. Barbara is a multi-faceted woman, like a quality gemstone. She makes me look ancient at 70! I was thrilled to hear that she loves elephants because I do too. I even have an original painting by the late Annabel, the elephant that was the first animal in the Anchorage, Alaska zoo. (I lived there for 37 years.) I also felt empathy for the difficulties in her life. I lost my son (first marriage) at 26 weeks gestation, and he passed 3 hours later. I never saw him (long story), and that was the beginning of the end of my 18 month marriage. I waited 9 years before I met and married my current husband and we will celebrate 42 years come October. Barbara, if you read any of the comments on this interview, know that I admire you and have for years. God bless you.
Class, class, class. Beautiful Barbara Eden.
Legend. She was perfect for that role
Gorgeous
Thanks for the memories Barbara !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just stumbled upon this video and I am so glad I did! Barbara - you were definitely a shining star for me. I watched "I Dream of Jeannie" growing up and it was one of my very favorite shows. You always represented humor and positivity, and love. I am so sad to hear about your son. I hope that your good memories bring you comfort, and that you can still feel the love from him. Thank you for all of the good times. 💖
Always a class act. What a precious lady. Thank you for the wonderful hours of entertainment Barbara Eden.
She still has the MAGIC !
Barbara you are so beautiful and such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your stories of loss and heartache. You are truly amazing.
Her elegance and candor is beautiful.
What a fantastic interview, Thank you Ms. Eden!
I still watch I dream of Jeannie on Antenna tv, great show and funny.I can’t believe she’s 92, and out lived her costars. Still beautiful ❤️
I do too. One of my faves as a kid😊
She's the Genie! She doesn't age. She just puts on the older mask so as not to upstage anyone. She's that classy!
I love her so much. You can tell she is a trained singer; her voice is so beautiful... and so is her heart. ❤
She looks fantastic for her age! It's so sad that she lost the baby and then years later her son😪
Thank you for sharing this 🥰
Who doesn't Love our Barbara !
Nobody
Nice to hear she's still with us. Shame she felt the need to go under the knife.
