I Dream Of Jeannie: Then, Now, and Fun Facts About the Show

Actors Opinions On Characters

Barbara Eden always viewed Jeannie was “a tomboy” although her fans seemed to think otherwise. During an interview with former co-star Larry Hagman, he spoke about his character Tony saying, “Here’s a guy who’s square and there’s this beautiful, gorgeous woman putting the make on him all the time and he says, ‘no, no, no I have my career…’” This outlook would certainly explain why it took so long for the two characters to tie the knot. In real life, the actors thought the characters’ marriage shouldn’t have happened.
