Barbara Eden Writing a Memoir

(AP)  Barbara Eden says she's been bottled up long enough.

The 75-year-old former star of "I Dream of Jeannie" is writing a memoir to be published by Crown Archetype.

Crown Archetype Vice President Tina Constable says "Jeannie Out of the Bottle" will be published next spring.

Eden co-starred with Larry Hagman in the '60s TV series about a beautiful genie named Jeannie. Hagman played the astronaut who found her on a beach and is constantly trying to keep her existence a secret.

She said Tuesday in a statement that "it's time for me to pop the cork and talk about the amazing people I've been fortunate enough to meet along the way."

OMG Barbara in her Hayday was the hottest woman alive.

I still love to see her in the Jeannie episodes.

In her prime she was every bit as hot as Raquel Welch in her hayday or any of the current hotties like Meghan Fox etc..

Amazing how much nastiness oozes out on discussion boards like this over someone who was relatively un-offensive to everyone except the Supporters of NOW and they sexiest agenda.

Ah well, beautifull women seem to draw the venom of jealous even as they grow older.

Kudos to Barbara Eden for keeping herself so attractive through the years. The book might be an interesting and humorous read as well.

Barbara was the hottest thing on the tube for a lot of years. I hope someone helps her write her book. Never struck me as Kipling.

The show was great!
Having a scantily dressed hottie that can grant any wish, showing you total loyalty & devotion and who calls you Master!! Totally the perfect fantasy for any man. (Or boy in my case). I always thought that Major Nelson was a complete idiot for not tapping that!!

She had one of the finest figures of her day, no doubt.

Most big dogs have sexier figures, but if you like women's figures I guess she was ok. But she looks well preserved for 75 even if you can't recognize her from the show at all.

Um. Her TV show was on over 40 years ago and she's now 75. I think she looked good then and now. And yeah, I do like women's figures.
