Jeannie Out of the Bottle (Paperback, Autographed by Barbara Eden)

By Barbara Eden, Wendy Leigh

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

OVERVIEW:

A magical, heartwarming memoir from one of Hollywood’s most beloved icons

Over the past four decades, the landmark NBC hit television series I Dream of Jeannie has delighted generations of audiences and inspired untold numbers of teenage crushes on its beautiful blond star, Barbara Eden. Part pristine Hollywood princess and part classic bombshell, with innocence, strength, and comedic talent to spare, Barbara finally lets Jeannie out of her bottle to tell her whole story.

Jeannie Out of the Bottle takes us behind the scenes of I Dream of Jeannie as well as Barbara’s dozens of other stage, movie, television, and live concert performances. We follow her from the hungry years when she was a struggling studio contract player at 20th Century Fox through difficult weeks trying to survive as a chorus girl at Ciro’s Sunset Strip supper club, from a stint as Johnny Carson’s sidekick on live TV to tangling on-screen and off with some of Hollywood’s most desirable leading men, including Elvis Presley, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, and Warren Beatty. From the ups and downs of her relationship with her Jeannie co-star Larry Hagman to a touching meeting with an exquisite and vulnerable Marilyn Monroe at the twilight of her career, readers join Barbara on a thrilling journey through her five decades in Hollywood.

But Barbara’s story is also an intimate and honest memoir of personal tragedy: a stillborn child with her first husband, Michael Ansara; a verbally abusive, drug-addicted second husband; the loss of her beloved mother; and the accidental heroin-induced death of her adult son, just months before his wedding. With candor and poignancy, Barbara reflects on the challenges she has faced, as well as the joys she has experienced and how she has maintained her humor, optimism, and inimitable Jeannie magic throughout the roller-coaster ride of a truly memorable life.

Illustrated with sixteen pages of photographs, including candid family pictures and rare publicity stills, Jeannie Out of the Bottle is a must-have for every fan, old and new.

BOOK AUTOGRAPHED BY BARBARA EDEN:

Each book is hand signed by Barbara Eden. Ms. Eden signs her name and "Jeannie" inside the book on one of the first few pages. Since each book is hand signed by Barbara Eden, autograph may vary (size, pen color, so on) from book to book.

PLEASE NOTE: This item is NOT personalized. At this time, only 8x10 photos are available personalized; click here to view personalized 8x10s.

OPTIONAL - ADD A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY ("COA") FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE:

As previously noted, Barbara Eden herself signed each of these books. BarbaraEden.net places a sticker on the plastic sleeve this book comes in that confirms this is an authentic Barbara Eden autograph purchased directly from Barbara Eden's Official Store. Finally, each BarbaraEden.net order comes with a receipt which states what item(s) were purchased by the customer, which serves as further proof that this is an authentic Barbara Eden autograph.

We understand that some autograph collectors would like to purchase an additional Certificate of Authenticity, which states this is a genuine Barbara Eden autograph, so we have added that option for an additional fee for collectors that want a COA. It is NOT mandatory to purchase a COA; each book is hand-signed by Barbara Eden, herself, regardless of whether a COA add-on is purchased.

PLEASE NOTE: The Certificate of Authenticity must be purchased at the same time as the book! We cannot retroactively generate one for you as the authenticator puts a photo showing the autograph inside of customer's ordered book on the COA.

If you have any questions about the Certificate of Authenticity or this product in general, click here to contact BarbaraEden.net Customer Service, so we can answer any questions you may have before you purchase this item.
