Barbara Eden Egyptian Dancing

[hebneh]

Egypt-a-go-go, I think we could call this.

A Pretending Woman spirit

Barbara should have been a Bond girl. She is beautiful.

Barbara Eden - Hot & Sexy at any time, any decade, and century.

Beautiful talented lady but the dance is SO STUPID. I doubt very much it is an Egyptian dance or anything related to the Middle East and do not believe it is even remotely close.

i was soooooooooooooo in love with babara eden had an autographed picture of her

[PhDinRomance]

She is one of the most adorable hot babes of all time.

Thanks for sharing.

I couldn't stop smiling.

I, too, have dreamed of a Jeannie...

But the one I've got doesn't look like Jeannie but has the same shape as Jeannie's bottle!?! I LOVE her, still. :-}

[wildnites558]

See? Barbara even walked like an Egyptian before the Bangles did.

[jlovebirch]

This pre-dates Steve Martin's equally camp "King Tut" number on SNL by 10 years. One wonders if Eden did this -- note the camera angle in the last few seconds -- as sort of a backhanded protest over not being able to show her navel on Jeannie.

As far as sex appeal goes, Barbara Eden at this time is about as hot as it gets.

[joe12544]

does all jeannie's come from Iraq ?is she in Egyptian.

[AngelicBabyd0ll]

@joe12544 No, genies come from all places in the Middle East, but Iraq is known for the first ancient civilization, Mesopotamia.. They made *Jeannie's* character come from there...

Ditto Hollytaplin called my cat Jeannie. I wasn't convinced the spelling was right for the feline however, so I changed it to Genie. Sadly she never wrote it down. :(

[iamspecial14]

Strangely reminds me of Bollywood! =P

[skinwalkerxxx]

wow she wanted to be naughty there. or her agent. lol

[gvt2u]

Now, that's some choreography there, that is.

[DJ1SCY]

She should have worn that outfit on I Dream of Jennie

[karismalove]

[Missmeggirl97]

[happysopink2010]

She would have been great in Michael Jackson's "Do You Remember" video. :)

[noiui]

@hollytaplin what did you say?

[wattever333]

I could imagine Lucille Ball doing the same thing.

[Eddiesix]

Barbra Eden is STILL a hottie!! I just love ya babe!

[TheStudent72]

Walk like an egyptian!

Yeah, it's pretty amusing about the fade-out at her navel, here. George Schlatter, producer of "ROWAN & MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN", wanted Barbara (as "Jeannie") to appear on the show, in a special introduction: it was supposed to end with a "pinhole" spotlight on her navel. Well, "I DREAM OF JEANNIE"'s producer, Sidney Sheldon, objected to Schlatter's idea [as did NBC], and she never appeared on "LAUGH-IN". What you saw here was as close as you would EVER see her belly button on TV, in the '60s.

[ShowoffNYC]

This is fun. It's very funny that someone had the idea to fade out on a shot of her navel.

[fromthesidelines]

In January 1966, in an interview about "I DREAM OF JEANNIE", Barbara admitted to an Associated Press reporter, "Baby Elephant (meaning herself) isn't a dancer. When I dance, it's strictly for comedy." She didn't have the confidence to attempt a "seductive" dance routine when she initially became "Jeannie". By late 1967, however, she was able to replicate one during her big production number as "Lalume" in a TV adaptation of "Kismet". That, in effect, led to this tongue-in-cheek number...
