A magical, heartwarming memoir from one of Hollywood’s most beloved icons

Over the past six decades, the landmark NBC hit television series I Dream of Jeannie has delighted generations of audiences and inspired untold numbers of teenage crushes on its beautiful blond star, Barbara Eden.

Part pristine Hollywood princess and part classic bombshell, with innocence, strength, and comedic talent to spare, Barbara finally lets Jeannie out of her bottle to tell her whole story.

In Jeannie Out of the Bottle, Barbara Eden invites listeners on a magical journey through her life, both on-screen and off.

Known to millions as the fun-loving, mischievous genie in a bottle, Eden shares the real story behind her iconic role, offering a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood in its golden years and at the beloved sitcom that made her a household name, as well as Barbara’s dozens of other stage, movie, television, and live concert performances.

Eden reveals her early years as a shy young girl from San Francisco and what lead her to Hollywood.

We follow her from the hungry years when she was a struggling studio contract player at 20th Century Fox through difficult weeks trying to survive as a chorus girl at Ciro’s Sunset Strip supper club, from a stint as Johnny Carson’s sidekick on live TV to tangling on-screen and off with some of Hollywood’s most desirable leading men, including Elvis Presley, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, and Warren Beatty.

From the ups and downs of her relationship with her Jeannie co-star Larry Hagman to a touching meeting with an exquisite and vulnerable Marilyn Monroe at the twilight of her career, listeners join Barbara on a thrilling journey through her six decades in Hollywood.

But Barbara’s story is also an intimate and honest memoir of personal tragedy: a stillborn child with her first husband, Michael Ansara; a verbally abusive, drug-addicted second husband; the loss of her beloved mother; and the accidental heroin-induced death of her adult son, just months before his wedding.

In this engaging and heartfelt memoir, Eden’s voice shines through, making this audiobook feel like a conversation with a friend who has seen it all. With candor and poignancy, Barbara reflects on the challenges she has faced, as well as the joys she has experienced and how she has maintained her humor, charm, wit, optimism, and inimitable Jeannie magic throughout the roller-coaster ride of a truly memorable life.

Jeannie Out of the Bottle is a must-listen for fans, offering a glimpse into the world of a true Hollywood icon.
