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

Real Life Military Service

The TV show remained very close to real life in one specific way. Anthony Nelson was in the Air Force and Roger Healey served in the Army. In real life, actor Larry Hagman served in the United States Air Force and Bill Daily spent his service years in the US Army where he was an artilleryman in the Korean War. They definitely had the experience needed to play their roles.
