Barbara Eden was born Barbara Jean Moorhead in Tucson, Arizona. Her date of birth has usually been given as August 23, 1934, although some sources cite 1930.

She is an American film and television actress and singer; and is best known for her starring role in the sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. She was also known as Barbara Huffman, following her mother's re-marriage, by which she has a younger half-sister. She graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in San Francisco in 1949.

Eden made memorable featured appearances on popular television shows such as I Love Lucy, Perry Mason, Bachelor Father, and Gunsmoke. Eden made her film debut in Back from Eternity (1956), and the following year she starred in the television series How to Marry a Millionaire, playing the role Marilyn Monroe had played in the film version. Eden had a notable part in Flaming Star (1960), an Elvis Presley movie. The following year, she played in a supporting role as Lt. Cathy Connors in Irwin Allen's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, one of many successful science fiction outings by "The Master of Disaster". She played supporting roles in films over the next few years, including a notable, if odd, movie, 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, with Tony Randall, before being signed to play her most famous and widely-recognized role, the character of Jeannie in the television sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, 1965-1970, opposite Larry Hagman. The show proved to be a huge success, running from 1965 until 1970, and during this time Eden was nominated twice for Golden Globe Awards.
