Enchanting Jeannie: Actress Barbara Eden on her meeting with Kennedy
"I was taken to a tiny VIP room, where John F. Kennedy was standing, asked how I was doing, and at the end I stuck a note with his number in my coat, which I immediately tore it up."
Courageous, courageous: Actress Barbara Eden (87, "The Woman Hunter"), who became known around the world for her role as a genie in "The Enchanting Jeannie" in the mid-1960s, gave a then-high-ranking politician a date cancellation. That's what she revealed in the interview with "Bild am Sonntag". It was no less than the then Senator and future US President John F. Kennedy (1917-1963). For Barbara Eden, the politician she did not even know at the time was too rested on his status to impress her with a single encounter in a VIP room at New York Airport. So when he puts her number on her, the actress does not think twice.
