Barbara Eden’s Magical Baby Shower (1965)
This delightful 1965 photo captures “I Dream of Jeannie” star Barbara Eden celebrating her impending motherhood with fellow actresses Dawn Wells (“Gilligan’s Island”), Shelley Fabares, and Lori Nelson. At the height of her fame as television’s favorite genie, Eden glows with real-life magic as she prepares for her most important role yet – becoming a mother.
While Jeannie would remain her most iconic character, Eden continued exploring new creative avenues, including unaired TV pilots and eventually becoming a successful author. Her 2011 memoir “Jeannie Out of the Bottle” gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at her magical career and life beyond the bottle.
