Barbara Eden, who is most recognized for playing Jeannie in the hit television series “I Dream of Jeannie,” is 92 years old and still radiates beauty and vitality. Barbara Jean Morehead, who was born on August 23, 1931, came to the public’s notice when she won the Miss San Francisco title in 1951.
Eden’s acting career took off after that, beginning in 1955 with “The Johnny Carson Show” and culminating with her legendary portrayal of the alluring Jeannie. She received recognition for her skill and adaptability and was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1988. Her memoir, “Jeannie Out of the Bottle,” which was released in 2011, details the highs and lows of her professional life as well as her personal hardships, which include the untimely death of her son.
Despite her advanced age, Eden, who is currently in her nineties, is still very much involved in her work and stays busy. She is adamant about finding fulfillment in her profession and continuing to pursue her passions. She works with a personal trainer and maintains a strict diet and fitness regimen to keep up her gorgeous appearance.
Eden recently graced a Beverly Hills function, and her classic elegance and upbeat demeanor amazed the guests. She serves as a great example to us with her job and attitude to life, showing us that age is just a number. Barbara Eden is an inspiration, showing that no matter our age, we can live life to the utmost.
Meg Foster was the movie star whose sky blue eyes drove people wild – sit down before seeing her today, 76
That we are all destined to grow old and grey is an immutable fact of life (for now, at least, who knows what the future holds with regards to technology and science).
It doesn’t matter how much money we have, how strictly we control our diet or exercise, how much sleep we get, or what we do for a living… sure, we might age differently, but in the end we’re all headed in the same direction. It’s basic biology, and not something we can do too much about.
Which is why it’s somewhat amusing that we can still be shocked when we see the hand of Father Time working its magic. Perhaps you haven’t seen someone for years, only to be taken back by how much they’ve aged? Or you spot an old movie star you remember from your childhood, only now their hair is white, their youthful exuberance gone.
It’s an interesting thing actually, the way celebrities age. Their appearances change as they get older – just as with any human being – only their path to old age is documented for the whole world to see. Be it from film to film, red carpet to red carpet, they leave a trail one can literally follow with their finger.
Now, time for today’s not-so-subtle segway: who remembers Meg Foster?
Of course you do! With her captivating, icy blue eyes, piercing gaze and raw beauty, how could you not? The American actress made her acting debut alongside Michael Douglas in Adam at 6am (1970), going on to star in numerous projects including The Six Million Dollar Man, Bonanza, The Twilight Zone and Murder, She Wrote.
Once a burgeoning talent and in-demand actress, Foster’s star has steadily shrunk from the limelight in the last two decades. These days she looks virtually unrecognizable from the woman who Mademoiselle magazine said had “the eyes of 1979”.
I mean, that’s hardly a surprise given that she’s now 76 years old, but it appears that people on the internet simply can’t grasp just how much she’s changed. We’ll be honest, some of the comments to be found are borderline cruel, while others simply reinforce the idea that the actress looks nothing like she did.
That said, we think that her decision to age naturally – without resorting to the plastic surgery that has become so commonplace in the film and TV industry – should be commended, not lambasted.
In any case, Foster continues to work within film and TV, as well as reportedly breeding horses from a large range which she owns by herself.
Do you remember Meg Foster? What do you think to how she looks now? Let us know in the comments.
