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

Larry Hagman’s First Success

Many fans of Larry Hagman might not realize that his first success came on the New York stage. That success was followed up by various TV roles before he hit it big on “I Dream of Jeannie.” His mother was Broadway actress Mary Martin and his dad was lawyer Benjamin Hagman. His classical theater training definitely paid off during his time on the show and eventually on the hit series, “Dallas.” His mom starred in such Broadway productions as “South Pacific,” “Peter Pan,” and “The Sound of Music.”
