Barbara Eden, who turns 94 on August 23, 2025, brought a rare blend of wide-eyed innocence with sharp comic brilliance to I Dream of Jeannie. Her Jeannie was more than just a magical sidekick — she was clever, independent, and disarmingly charming, with that mischievous nose twinkle that made every scene unpredictable in the best of ways. Eden chatted with ReMIND over the phone, sharing her memories of the series and more.

When I mentioned she’s graced our sister publication, TV Guide Magazine, multiple times, she told us she still has some of the covers saved to this day.
