The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Barbara Eden

  • I don’t know what I am doing from one moment to the next. I like that not knowing because it’s always a surprise. You don’t know what’s around the corner, you know what role am I going to play next and who am I going to be working with. It’s like opening a present.
  • I played the Marilyn Monroe role of “Loco” in How to Marry a Millionaire (1957), though I didn’t consider myself as that kind of actress, I approached the role more as a character.
  • Every New Year’s I resolve to have a better year than I had before.
  • If gentlemen prefer blondes then I’m a blonde that prefers gentlemen.
  • Out of all the actors I have worked with, I love working with Larry Hagman the most. We were very close and it was just a wonderful time.
  • I’ve never stopped working. If you’re active, you can appreciate what you did in the past, you don’t feel like it’s gone.
  • Work makes me feel productive, as though I’m contributing something. I like being productive and feeling productive.
  • Advice to present-day actors linked to a particular role: I would embrace the character, because it won’t do any good if you don’t. And another thing: Don’t whine or talk trash about it. I don’t think you ever demean to your public what you’ve done. You’re insulting them if you demean your work.
  • On Jeannie: She’s very easy to live with. Actually I think I’m more restricted by her now than when she was on the air, or 20 years after. I was just so busy.
  • They became very strict about the navel…very strict about the pantaloons. They had to be very shadowed so you couldn’t see my legs.

Barbara Eden (born August 23, 1931) is an American actress and singer best known for her iconic role as Jeannie in the classic sitcom I Dream of Jeannie (1965–1970). Born in Tucson, Arizona, and raised in San Francisco, Eden studied acting and singing before beginning her career in the 1950s with appearances in films and television shows.

She gained early recognition through roles in movies such as Flaming Star (1960) opposite Elvis Presley and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961).
