Photograph signed: "Larry Hagman", "Barbara Eden/Jeannie". Color, 8x10. Still from the TV series I Dream of Jeannie. The story of an Air Force astronaut (Hagman) who crash lands on an uninhabited island and finds a genie (Eden) in a bottle was televised on NBC from 1965-1970. A superficially "sexist" comedy with feminist undertones, the series had Jeannie calling Major Nelson "master," but really using her extraordinary powers to call the shots. In 1956, BARBARA EDEN (b. 1934) made her film debut in Back from Eternity. She worked steadily in television, finally attaining leading-lady status on the 1958 sitcom How to Marry a Millionaire, in which she played a myopic "Marilyn Monroe"-type gold digger. Good film and TV roles followed for the lovely blonde actress. Full stardom arrived with the NBC comedy pictured here, and revivals in a brace of TV movies, the last one produced in 1991. Eden's post-Jeannie career has included several films, TV guest star appearances, theatrical and nightclub engagements, and still another sitcom, 1981's Harper Valley P.T.A. After five years of Jeannie, LARRY HAGMAN (1931-2012) took a few film and TV-movie parts, co-starring with Donna Mills on the 1971 sitcom The Good Life, co-starring with Lauren Bacall in the TV rendition of the Broadway musical Applesauce and acting and directing in the low-grade horror spoof Beware! The Blob. Hagman's best-ever TV stint was as the charming but conniving J. R. Ewing on the nighttime TV serial Dallas, a role he played from 1978 through 1990 and in a 2012 revival. Slightly worn at corners. Otherwise, fine condition.
