A magical, heartwarming memoir from one of Hollywood's most beloved
icons
Over the past four 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.
" "
"Jeannie Out of the Bottle "takes us behind the scenes of "I Dream
of Jeannie "as well as Barbara's dozens of other stage, movie,
television, and live concert performances. 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, readers join Barbara
on a thrilling journey through her five 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. 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, optimism, and inimitable Jeannie magic throughout the
roller-coaster ride of a truly memorable life.
Illustrated with sixteen pages of photographs, including candid
family pictures and rare publicity stills, "Jeannie Out of the
Bottle "is a must-have for every fan, old and new.
