  • “I DREAM of JEANNIE” STAR RETURNS to SPACE COAST Barbara Eden to Perform at 50Th Anniversary of Iconic TV Series
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “I DREAM OF JEANNIE” STAR RETURNS TO SPACE COAST Barbara Eden to Perform at 50th Anniversary of Iconic TV Series COCOA BEACH, FL – September 3, 2015. Barbara Eden, the star of the 1960s sitcom, “I Dream of Jeannie,” returns to Florida’s Space Coast on Sunday, October 25 for the 50th anniversary of the premiere of the iconic show set in Cocoa Beach, FL. “On the Magic Carpet with Barbara Eden” will feature Ms. Eden and “Entertainment Tonight” and Showtime movie reporter Bill Harris on stage at the Scott Center Auditorium on the campus of Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne. The performance will take guests back into Jeannie’s Magic Bottle in a fun-filled evening of storytelling and the screening of rare and never before seen film clips featuring Barbara Eden and such stars as Elvis Presley, Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, and her “I Dream of Jeannie” co-star Larry Hagman. The show will also include a lively Q & A session between Ms. Eden and the audience, in addition to a limited Meet & Greet reception following the performance. “The people of Cocoa Beach have always been so gracious and welcoming to me,” said Eden. “Even though we never actually filmed the show there, we have spent a lot of time on the Space Coast. It seems like a second home to me, and I am very excited to go back there and see so many familiar and friendly faces.” The show and Ms. Eden’s appearance are largely made possible due in part to the support of SCB Marketing and the Brevard County Tourism Development Council's Special Event Marketing Grant Program and the Space Coast Office of Tourism.
