Step aside, Aladdin! The legendary Barbara Eden, the woman who made the world believe in magic, celebrated her 92nd birthday on August 23, and the beloved actress continues to defy time.
Decades after charming audiences with her role as Jeannie in I Dream of Jeannie, Eden remains an adored figure in Hollywood. But behind the glitz and glamor of her illustrious career lies a painful personal tragedy—one that no amount of TV magic could undo. In 2001, she endured the greatest heartbreak of her life: the devastating loss of her only son, Matthew Ansara, to a heroin overdose.
From Humble Beginnings to Stardom
Barbara Eden’s journey to Hollywood began during one of the most challenging periods in American history. Born during the Great Depression, she transformed her humble beginnings into a life of luxury and success.
By 1956, she had begun her career in film (A Private’s Affair, Twelve Hours to Kill) and television (The Johnny Carson Show, I Love Lucy), gradually working her way into the spotlight.
