Let’s talk about Barbara Eden, the legendary actress who’s still turning heads at 93. She’s not just surviving—she’s thriving. According to an exclusive source from Closer, Barbara is making the most of her golden years with energy that could put some of us younger folks to shame. She’s even got an impressive bucket list lined up.
Staying Active: The Secret to Barbara’s Youthful Spirit
When it comes to staying young, Barbara Eden has cracked the code. “Barbara is still going strong,” the source reveals. “She’s in incredible shape and keeps very active. You’d never guess she’s in her 90s just by looking at her.” And let’s be honest, when someone looks this good in their 90s, we’re all taking notes. Barbara was recently spotted in L.A., driving herself to the salon for a little pre-date-night pampering with her husband, Jon Eicholtz.
Barbara’s zest for life is nothing short of inspiring. She celebrated her 93rd birthday on August 23 with a lunch date alongside her husband and dear friends. “I am so grateful to have completed another trip around the sun,” she said, proving that gratitude and joy are key ingredients to her long and fulfilling life. The weekend also included quality time with family, including her sister Alison, her husband, and their children.

A Career Full of Adventures
Barbara’s career has been nothing short of an adventure. She’s graced our screens with iconic roles, but it’s her personal life that truly captivates. “I’ve lived 40 years in the same house,” she shared. “So my life is very centered around my family, my house, my husband, my dog Bentley, and my friends.”
Even with a career that spans decades, Barbara hasn’t forgotten her fans. She took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her heartfelt gratitude for the birthday wishes she received. “It warms my heart, truly to know so many of you have reached out and feel so fondly for me today and have sent such beautiful messages,” she wrote, showing just how much she values the connection with her audience.
Still Fitting Into That Iconic Costume
Now, here’s where things get really interesting. Despite the fame-making series "I Dream of Jeannie" wrapping up 54 years ago in 1970, Barbara still fits into her iconic costume. When she first donned that outfit in 1965, it caused quite a stir. “It became a thing. I’ve told people, I said, ‘Other people are known for very glamorous parts of their body — I’ve got a belly button,’” Barbara joked with Entertainment Tonight in July. “The standards and practices for films suddenly realized I had a belly button I had never shown before. It was silly,” she added, laughing off the controversy with her signature charm.
“She looks incredible,” the insider continues. “She even fit into her I Dream of Jeannie costume, and she still has the energy of someone half her age, too.” The secret to her youthful spirit? “She always says staying active is the best medicine,” adds the source.
Barbara’s Global Adventures
It’s clear that Barbara Eden isn’t slowing down anytime soon. She loves traveling around the country to conventions to meet her fans and does a lot of charity work. But her ambitions don’t stop at U.S. borders. Just a few months ago, she was in Spain making an appearance and participating in a charity event to raise money for senior citizens.
“She’s now saying she wants to do more international travel this year and has a long list of places she wants to check off her list. She’s even talking about traveling all the way to Madagascar with her husband,” the source reveals. “Age doesn’t limit her at all.”
