Barbara Eden

Born: August 23, 1931 in Tucson, Arizona, USA

The presence of her belly-button on I Dream of Jeannie (1965) was a non-issue until its existence was questioned, playfully, by columnist Mike Connolly. When Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In (1967) producer George Schlatter decided to premiere it on his show, NBC issued a “No Navel Edict”.

Her parents divorced when she was three and her mother Alice later married Harrison Connor Huffman.
