Eden is perfectly with it and self-possessed and maintains her dignity as Bill — like probably thousands of men who've had a chance to meet her over the years — seems hell bent on letting her know she was the photograph — or one of the photographs — to which he masturbated when he was a boy.

"When did uh everyone catch on you were so hot?... Come on... I mean, you must have been like such a smoke show in high school...."
Said Bill Maher, interviewing the 94-year-old Barbara Eden:

Holy moly. she's 94?
So Maher and OJ Simpson have something in common…
It was Eden over Funicello back in the day because - belly button.
I don't see what attracts smart women to Jewish men like that. Ann?
I bet she's not "perfectly" with it.
I bet you are projecting. Loni Anderson had to put up with a lot of crap too. Doesn't mean the ladies of that generation enjoyed it. Shame on you, ann. You were TRYING to get the old men to look at you and comment on your budding sexuality... Plenty of hotter (than you) women weren't.
(I think it's the stubby legged women who know they won't get the attention they're craving without really working the sex pot memes. They expose too much too soon, dye and paint the naturally pretty parts, and in the end, resort to money to nab their man... Hit the tipjar; keeping a meadey sweetey isn't cheaply. lol)
New tags:
"As with my parents conceiving me and my siblings, these are things I don't want to think about."
"Let actors and musicians be remembered through the recordings made during their prime era."
"Bill Maher must be tacky. It's a law of nature."
"Women are women, men are men. Transgendered people play Halloween dress-up and are reproductive dead ends."
Men like Maher will end their slurpy boy ways
when ladies like Ann stop platforming them.
(I know, they are perpetual boys -- "remind me of my sons...")
Catwoman was way hotter than Genie, ask anybody. And Emma Peel was hotter than both of them.
Ann!
Isn't Bill Maher on record saying that he masturbated to calm himself down before shows? Or was that Louis CK? Both of them together maybe? With whoever they could get to watch?
she was the photograph — or one of the photographs — to which he masturbated when he was a boy.
I doubt it. She wasn't known for a photograph, she was known for a TV show. Did she do a nude photograph?
Personally, photographs were always sub-par for me. Video is best. Before video, it was words that would spark my imagination. Also, just imagining girls from my life.

Girls From my Life
Dirty books
Nude photograph
And I don't think she did a nude photograph. Young Bill Maher masturbating to a TV Guide is a sad, sad image.
You are correct, Diana Rigg was hotter indeed, and a better actress. "Genie" was better written than we seem to give it credit for though. We got a DVD with a bunch of episodes and it impressed me in that it was taking Omar Khayyam seriously.
Which really was something for US 1960s TV.
I never liked her. Partly the sitcom and partly the professional-i-am-hot meme.
Hot award went to Barbara Feldon as 99. Not in her tiger ads though, where she was trying to present as hot. In her personality in the sitcom, always satisfied with Max regardless.
I just found out Barbara Eden was a singer!
Here she is, in a mini-skirt...
Son of a Preacher Man.
Young Bill used to visit Radio City where his dad was news director for WFAN and Imus's boss. Imus and McCord related several times that they used to set young Bill up with NBC page girls, as a disrespectful joke on his father.
She has to be the most well preserved 94 year old ever. Inspiring. Now please tell us how it's the daily burritos, margaritas, and internet surfing that did it.

meade's back pimping her content to collect tip-jar pennies so he can finance his outdoorsman lifestyle... lol
Sexs sells. Even for the boomer oldies... Tip early, tip often!
I didn't have a color television, plus you had to constantly adjust the rabbit ears. It wasn't the ideal medium for that type of activity. The concept of a beautiful woman who addressed you as master and was tickled pink to entertain your every whim was an entertaining one, however. As I recall, Star Trek also had some entertaining plot lines.
Of course, she was drop-dead gorgeous, but what put her over the top was the "Yes, Master!" attitude.
No, Samantha Stevens wins, she had a better evil twin.
When are the boomer women going to reveal who they touched themselves to? Bob Dylan?? Really???
She was... is pretty, personal, and real.
We all know that Bill used to beat off to Larry Hagman, come on man.
She had to hide whenever Desi Arnaz came around the set.
“I never liked her. Partly the sitcom and partly the professional-i-am-hot meme”
I’d wager Hardin was more partial to Scooby-Doo… amirite!?
Another connection between Bill Maher and Larry King.
Maher = toxic masculinity.
I wasn’t looking forward to viewing this because I thought Maher would overdo the masterbation topic but it was a really nice interview. Thx
Youtube has season one, episode one... I Dream of Jeannie.. and you will see just how sexy she was!
"she was the photograph — or one of the photographs — to which he masturbated when he was a boy. "
Oh god. Where to start. Between the Sears catalog and TV i'm amazed we got anything done.
Rusty, I'd say something positive here, but you're just correct.
Nothing to say after Rusty's mic drop, except I was more partial to Dawn Wells.
Too many tossers here!
Trump "Slow-Moving Coup"
Sears catalog, TV Guide, etc. Didn’t anyone’s dad subscribe to Playboy?
When Jeannie started in Fall 65 I was in UK, where Diana Rigg took over on the Avengers at the same time, and she became my tv crush.
except I was more partial to Dawn Wells.
I met Dawn at her book signing in Tacoma back in 2014. Still have a great photo with her sitting between my wife and myself.
That charming, innocent, girl-next-door character she played as Mary Ann?
It's real.
@ Saint Croix - Oy! My eyes! That cringey 60s choreography! I need to go watch an hour of Molly Long and Project 21 to cleanse my brain
