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

Barbara Eden’s Real-Life Husband

The Blue Djinn was played by Barbara’s real life husband, Michael Ansara. Playing the bad guy to his wife’s genie must have made for some awkward moments. There were a lot of bit players and guest cameos on the show that would continue throughout its five season run. Watch the show again and you might notice how the interactions between Jeannie and the Blue Djinn seem different now that you know they were married.
