Wahine of the Week: Barbara Eden ...

 This weeks Wahine of the Week is a vintage one... introducing Barbara Eden


Eden is most indelibly associated with her role as the genie in the bottle in the long-running TV sitcom "I Dream of Jeannie" 1965 in which Major Anthony Nelson, a NASA astronaut, finds a decorative pink bottle on a desert island after he splashes down in the ocean. The bottle has a beautiful blond genie in it, who immediately assumes that Nelson is her master. The sitcom gained a cult following, and Eden still appears from time to time in commercials and cameos that poke gentle fun at her former role.
