“She’s stunning. I want to know her secret,” commented one of her followers.

“Still beautiful and ageless!!!” another person wrote. “An ageless beauty for sure,” read a third comment.

Eden enjoyed a decades-long career in Hollywood, although many remember her from the beloved 1960s sitcom. “I Dream of Jeannie” tells the story of astronaut Major Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman), who finds a magic bottle containing a 2,000-year-old genie (Eden). The two fall in love and build a life together.

The series premiered on September 18, 1965, propelling Eden to superstardom. It aired for five seasons before ending in 1970.

These days, Eden lives a quieter life with her husband and their dog, Bentley.

“I didn’t realize how popular ‘Jeannie’ was until many years later, and it still amazes me,” Eden told People in 2025. “I can’t believe it. I have fan mail from Russia. Can you imagine? I have fan mail from Russia, China, Japan, Poland, Italy, Germany, South America and the United Kingdom. If you had told me that during filming, I wouldn’t wouldn’t have believed it.”

Eden told the outlet that fans often ask her to do Jeannie’s signature arm bending motion to “cast a spell” for them — and sometimes, they do it in return.

“It’s magical,” she said. “They always want magic. Magic is good.”

In recent years, Eden has uncovered the truth about why the 1960s sitcom was first filmed in black and white before switching to color. “I was going to have a baby,” she explained in an interview with People. “And so, they started fast. I think they thought I was going to die or something. They didn’t want to invest money in color.”

It has long been assumed that showrunners were worried about how the show’s special effects colors would look, prompting them to play it safe, People reported. However, they were actually more concerned about hiding Eden’s growing baby bump.

“The same day ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ was sold, the doctor told me I was pregnant,” Eden told the media. “I was thrilled. I was so happy, but I knew they would have to replace me. Well, my God, my love [‘I Dream of Jeannie’ creator] Sidney Sheldon. He got to work and we did the first 13 shows with me pregnant.”
