Star Barbara Eden Sits Down With Al Roker To Reflect On Her Career ‘I Dream Of Jeannie’ | TODAY

[@karencalifano6132]

What a gorgeous lady inside and out!! So classy, kind and talented. They don't make them like her anymore.

[@carolsecret7517]

LOVE her so much,,,she feels like family....perfect comedic timing and generous of heart; a true Role Model for Young Women today.

[@sburris65]

She is still beautiful. I loved her on the Andy Griffith show. That was one of my favorite episodes.

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

People seen to forget... the point of the comedy was that Jeannie was the real "master"...

[@lionheartroar3104]

Forever beautiful...Barbara is timeless

[@donna6368]

Absolutely stunning for being 86.

[@KendallKelly]

What a wonderful gracious woman. Always loved Jeanie

[@GoGo-qi1yr]

...God bless Barbara Eden!... that's one classy LADY!!!.... 💖

[@southernsass2937]

Class act right here. Love this Lady.

[@MrMd217]

I can’t believe she is that age! She looks phenomenal!

[@mike856ms]

Can we all agree that Barbara is drip dead gorgeous still today. 87 and she looks 65

[@glickyglue]

What is Drip Dead? Really?

[@donaldmcauliffe7653]

Note she will always be beautiful

[@vsboy2577]

I dream of jeannie is still funny to this day. It's a iconic show all around the world

[@1saacbcourt452]

vsboy 25 It is💕

[@rhwinner]

Flat out Funneee show. All the actors are great.

[@EricCanterra]

Always a Class Act.

[@appletoshmartin5352]

What an amazing lady, so talented, so sweet, so humble, so beautiful... A true living legend! ❤️❤️

[@MamaCarola1]

She looks fantastic. Never would have guessed that she'll be 87!!

[@KMF3]

MamaCarola1 yes but of course I'm sad that she had all that plastic surgery done to her beautiful face. I wish you would have let herself age a little bit more gracefully and naturally. Maybe have some plastic surgery but not as much as she appears to have had. And it must be fairly recent because I don't remember seeing her this badly done before.

[@donaldhungate2011]

KMF. Just in the past 3 to 5 yrs she definitely had her neck and eyes done. She kept herself healthy and i think she still works out alot. Her figure is still there and she is still beautiful to me.

[@ttabbyy]

So love her quirky personality.

[@loraine6574]

I dream of Jeannie was the best show ever!!!! I still watch it whenever I can....😢😭😭wish more shows where like this these days..

[@kristinjohnson2698]

She is one of this prettiest women to EVER BE ON TELEVISION!

[@jamessotomayer8948]

I never met Ms. Eden, but I felt inlove 💓 with her and her show! She was part of my youth growing up! And I wonder how many others made felt as I did! Ms. Barbara Eden is an icon! A real American Treasure. And she will remain so for all those who saw and enjoyed her show!

[@kurtbogle2973]

Honestly I'm happy with the fact that I live in a time when I got to watch the most beautiful woman that ever lived. The fact that she is kind enough to make these clips available is over the top! I love it.

[@mikenelsonsr8068]

Love her show, watched it all the time. Still a classy "LADY".

[@fazrinbudi2789]

The "Me Too" genie. Wow that makes my day

[@vh8674]

She still look amazing even thought she had some with done. We will always love that character.

[@breezethompson9721]

By far the most admired woman ever to Grace us with such a beautiful woman

[@Royalroadtotheunc]

I liked how she "blinked" him back to New York! 😊 I watch the entire series about once a year on DVD. I still get the same belly laughs. Barbara Eden, Larry Hagman, Bill Daily and Hayden Rorke all rocked in that show!

[@howardfuller3212]

I was born in October 1966. I'm 51 years old. Barbara Eden was in her mid 30s around the beginning of the series of I Dream Of Jeannie? Your kidding me...Really? That would put her about 40ish in it's last season. I don't care. I'm still in love!!!!!

[@beyoutifulliving7506]

Y

[@beyoutifulliving7506]

I’m 35, still young!!!

[@stevenirvine666]

What a beautiful woman Barbara is,i wish her many happy times ahead,she made us all happy :) she deserves it.

[@mike856ms]

Don't forget she played on Dallas and was the one who bought J R Ewing's company out from under his nose. She played Ruthless so good.

[@WatersandWilderness]

That was a wonderful interview. What a nice lady. Loved watching "I Dream of Jeannie" as a child. Hope that she is doing well today and always.

[@s.miller345]

Her guest spot in "The Country Club Dance" episode of I LOVE LUCY is my favorite Barbara Eden role, hands down! Great interview, Al!

[@renealexander2703]

Apocalypse Plough, that's not true. I Dream Of Jeannie was based on a movie called The Brass Bottle. Genies movies and shows have existed long BEFORE the 60s. It was not a rip off of Bewitched. If that's the case, do you feel that Bewitched was a rip-off of the movie I Married A Witch and the TV series My Favorite Martian? Both came BEFORE Bewitched.

[@anniefannycharles9951]

Omg , she looks wonderful! She's an inspiration❤

[@TrustNone35]

2019 and I am sitting here in shock. There is no way that woman is 87!! She really looks like she is in her 60's. What a wonderful person. Always loved her!

[@davidd6218]

Still dream of Jeannie 52 years later. Barbara Eden still a beauty and sweetest.

[@pablopeter3564]

She will always be beautiful. Greetings from Mexico City.

[@mscarolynnigro]

God bless her

[@michellelacy6384]

Such a Class Act - she is still so Beautiful and it's hard to believe she will be 87 next month!!! I loved her show!!

[@smellyolegoat150]

I love Barbara Eden! That beautiful lady is a real class act.

[@katiegrayson4561]

We are so lucky to be alive during her lifetime! She’s such a class act. Love her. 😍💖✨🧞‍♀️

[@alw1268]

Forever beautiful. I wish I can meet her.

[@rromancunard]

💐For me she is in the list of the best actress of all the times, for her beauty face, charming, charisma, authentic and original personality. 🎉 Barbara Eden is a real genius🧞‍♀️💗is fabulous.🤍

[@ivanalejandrogonzalezsanch7297]

Ella es una persona muy dulce, cariñosa, gentil, hermosa y encantadora. Me gustaría tener el gusto de conocerla algún día a esta señora tan linda como es Barbara Eden. Que Dios la siga bendiciendo siempre a sus ochenta y tantos se ve genial.

[@albertojaa8551]

Adorable lady.. I love I dream of Jeannie ... iconic

[@cesartangoa6196]

Srta. Barbara. Usted es marabillosa

[@ozarkbees]

I always loved that show, as a kid i would get home from school and park right in front of the tv and watch it faithfully

[@mgrella63]

God Bless Her Wow 87!!!

[@kurtbogle2973]

She is as wonderful as she is beautiful!

[@dianehill3279]

Endlessly Beautiful! I grew up watching I Dream of Jeannie. I still watch this show on the nostalgia networks. The era of Jeannie saw the best programming ever produced.

[@margaretosburn5709]

Loved her show!

[@Bstn02152]

Loved I Dream of Jeannie ❤️

[@scatterbrainedproductions267]

She looks fantastic!

[@jess4metoo]

She had a book signing event in San Francisco and I arrived after it was over(Stuck in traffic). The security guard wouldn’t let me in, but offered to asked her if she would see one more person. She said “yes”. Very gracious woman.

[@williamjewell1078]

She is hero and has been since the 60's

[@alyjulmiste1880]

She was so gorgeous and still looking pretty good. I will always have love for Barbara Eden

[@lunaticspleen]

One of my fav shows on tv when I was a child

[@kennysherrill6542]

Loved Barbara back in the day, still do, I'm still in love with Angelina Cartwright, she doesn't look the same but I still love that woman. She was my first crush, she has the most amazing eyes I'm sure a loving heart❤

[@giselestrauch5146]

[@vgerlightening7011]

THE INCREDIBLE "BARBARA EDEN".

[@nm9412]

love her

[@EAB82]

Gorgeous woman for any age.

[@bernardrubin5816]

Love her and that was a rough question to ask about the loss of her only child.

[@dlarremore]

Bernard Rubin I was thinking that too, but I'm sure the Today Show asked her publicist If it was alright to ask about her son beforehand

[@boydmanuel9257]

True, but she gave a great answer and it seems like she's made peace with it.

[@sharondonovan1403]

My favorite show. I dream of Jeannie. God bless you Barbra Eden. You will always be our jeannie.😄

[@williamkozar1783]

One of my favorite shows ! ❤️ Barbara she is still beautiful, great voice😘 I always had a crush on her.

[@royrezek231]

Great show

[@berniecasey7592]

Adore this Lady-all my life

[@KennyRyman]

She was in a TV Movie Called Harper PTA..

[@williamjewell1078]

Wonderful lady!! Hope I see in heaven

[@john-paulnagel2732]

God Bless Miss Eden!

[@jeffreycody5217]

They used to say everyone ages except Cary Grant. I think you could say the same about Barbara Eden. Clearly she’s still got it and she’s always had plenty of it. An incredible woman, grace, charm, beauty and funny too.

[@Emanual0607]

Fabulous!

[@joesmith-jb4ls]

Barbara is my all time favorite

[@zero1fifty8]

Lovely woman, she was so hot back in her day too

[@uvss7980]

Love her. Classy cute beautiful ...

[@joejoe9435]

one of the most beautiful women on film

[@TrustNone35]

Thank God we had Barbara. Stunning and all class. Today you get a cardi B- what happened to the USA?

[@michaelshelley1289]

LOVE HER!!!!!! She still looks the same (wish she wouldn't have had surgery though) She's still great!!!

[@kimmyball4961]

Michael Shelley agree.....I've seen her before she did all that and she looked so much better as her natural self.

[@donaldhungate2011]

Her personality is so fantastic i really dont care what she looks like. SHE LOOKS GREAT. Her figure is fantastic still.. Just saying.

[@theastewart6721]

Awesome! Grew up on that show. Those were the days!h

[@denospyridon3126]

I loved the 1985 movie “I still dream of Jennie”

[@renealexander2703]

Me too. It was a great movie.

[@music19009]

Barbra Eden is still amazingly beautiful.

[@classic-kool]

87, classy, and still very attractive!

[@ltg102]

Great interview.

[@franko2k]

Barbara has had some work,but she looks amazing for 86! God Bless You,Barbara.

[@fatherfinger]

Admiral Akbar and Barbara Eden

[@Tigerheiress]

my dad always says i remind him of her :)

[@apocalypseplough8089]

They ripped off one of my favorite shows, Bewitched, but I liked her anyway. 86 !? Holy macaroni.

[@nicholaswhitman1757]

Lovely lady

[@FlyingSnoopy]

Classy!!!

[@rtoma1974]

Hard to believe she's almost 87.

[@christopherramon-reid2000]

Good one Roker! 👍

[@samhunt9308]

I met her once in Puerto Rico around 1975 or so, she had a night club act then.

[@lloydkline6946]

Really,wow; she was gorgeous in 1975

[@nealwright5630]

I have to wonder what she would look like if she hadn't had all that plastic surgery. I'm going to say she would look much better than she does.

[@timw4383]

She said it, "we all heard about drugs," but we failed to recognize it. We saw it in my brother in the 90's, and then in my nephew in th early 2000's, but we couldn't figure it what the heck was going on with them. I was telling my cousin (whom, I found out later, was also doing drugs) that I was worried about my brother. When he told me my brother was doing drugs I got mad at HIM and called him a liar. Lol

[@danielschultz11]

I was a very little boy and fell in love with Jeannie. Even back then, I knew she was HOT. Now I know why I like blondes.

[@RichardsScott]

I should be so lucky to be with someone half as gorgeous or nice.

[@ioy6891]

She looks amazing! It probably has to do with her sweet spirit.

[@hard-truthsbetter-than-swe6543]

why cant females today have this kinda class....

[@sandrasanders706]

peace on earth Amen

[@classic-kool]

Once they started to bang the blacks out of wedlock, it was the beginning of the end ..

[@annpayton]

#METOO JEANNIE, IKR👍😆

[@troyphillips8607]

Master come here

[@danielhackman2438]

She is still good looking
