My uncle's best friend worked on the set of "I Dream Of Jeanie". He said that Barbra Eden was a perfect lady. Never nasty, never lost her temper, and always respected the crew. What an all-round beautiful woman she is.
He seems so down to heart he says what make people love her was his chatacter in jeanie not her how many actors cant said that just because of her pride and arrogance
Barbara Eden was always one of my favorite people to watch when I was growing up she is the epitome of a classy woman The Way She carries herself second to none ,and should never be subject to a question like ,that my mother had to bury her son and my brother, that's something that you don't touch in someone's heart, the many years you never stop grieving it ,God bless you Miss Eden thank you for all you've given us, your energy on TV, and the way you carried yourself ,will always be remembered, again thank you from the bottom of my heart ,I remember in the sixties watching you ,and you look exactly the same to me now as you did then,..God Bless
My condolences to Barbara Eden. May her beautiful son Rest In Peace. She truly showed a lot of strength doing this interview. She’s an awesome person. A treasure of refinement
Isn’t mr Eden allegedly a satanick masonick helliweird created sellout and a gender inverted male that has been deliberately mocking and fooling the public for decades by masquerading as a female TV entertainer ?
I'm so sad for her... She's such a lovely, lovely soul. Big hugs to you Barabara. God bless you for all the joy you have given us and the trials you have had to endure.
My favorite icon in the world since I was 5yrs old. Nothing made me cry so hard then to see and hear Barbara break down like that over her son. Love you Barbara
I met her once after a play. She let me come backstage and spent time with me I will always remember her kindness. Thanks Barbara for spending time with me I was going through a very bad time which you had no way of knowing. Your kindness has held a very special place in my heart all these years. I still thank God for you and I pray for you with all you have been through. I ended up with a Masters in counseling
Yes classy and beautiful but . . . . Her son grew-up lonely with no mum to guide him and love-him and be at home mum all the time, this is the price she paid to be prancing half-naked in holly-weird TVshow😈
I had no idea that Barbara Eden was enduring such suffering while maintaining a career! I always liked her as an actress, but now I feel additional respect for her.
Barbara Eden reached 90 years of age last month so when this interview took place in 2003 she was 71 years old. I have never seen a woman of over 70 as stunningly beautiful as she was.
The interviewer asked a dumb question that set her off. Barbara was already being so forthright in all her discussion. No need to rub salt into the wound.
Barbara Eden is such an old-school pro. She knows how to project the same, sunny image as her heart is breaking. She's still working, too. Amazing lady.
Thanks to you, Mrs. Barbara Eden, for being so candid and forthcoming on such a personal issue. I don't know if I could do this if put in the same place. I hope you find Comfort in the Holy Spirit that Christ sent to us Mrs. Eden. God bless you.
Barbara did a good job at holding her own during this interview. Connie was very cold about the whole thing. I definitely think the question "Will your life ever be the same?" was ignorant and insensitive.It's so sad what happened to Barbara's son, it sounds like she did everything she could to help him..
I have always admired Barbara Eden,probably for all the wrong reasons? After hearing about what she went through as a parent my heart goes out to her and my perception of her as a person now is only enhanced. I wish her peace.
This was quite distressing to view, particularly for such a beloved television icon and one who has a reputation for being one of the nicest people in the entertainment industry. The difficulty in watching this was exacerbated by the interviewer, who could have had a little more tact and tried showing genuine compassion, but that's another point. It's a shame that in this situation, Barbara Eden is but one more parent/relative out there who has suffered from the addition and loss of a loved one to drugs. The substance abuse epidemic today is part of a wider set of social ills that need to be addressed with a hands-on approach, greater community/cultural cohesiveness, and just anything that will help on an individual or family basis. Thanks for sharing this piece that makes one really have a think.
This just breaks my heart! I spent years on drugs, in and out of treatment, living on the streets, stealing from my mom, and somehow, one day, I just got tired! I know what she went through, because I put my family through the same! Just know Mrs. Eden, it was the drugs, not your son, who did those things! Your story is saving lives! Some have to die, so others can live! Thank you Matthew for being a lesson that saves lives!
Very cruel because it was asked purposely to get an emotional response out of her in order to boost their ratings! So disgusting! She however looks fantastic and remains classy, upbeat and tactful.
love the show, grew up with the show, love the hell out of barbara eden as jeanie. you just hate to hear such sad things happening to your favorite stars. after all, they become immortal to a kid with stars in eyes looking at jeanie. it was and will always be one of my favorite shows. you are family. love you always.
A woman I literally admired growing up...and one I can relate to over the loss of a child. My only child, age 17 commited suicide almost 30 years ago because of addictive behavior...even though planning a life with a fiance' with aspirations, dreams, and hopes.. Many questions go unanswered, and I can feel the emotions this lovely lady is going thru. As a parent you always wonder if there was something more you could have done. God Bless You Barbara.
Growing up watching I Dream Of Jeanie was such a treat. That show had beautiful Barbara. I couldn't get enough of her. And now she's here telling her life story. She's one classy lady! And she's still beautiful! So hard for her to tell her sons story, she loved him so much. Tears me up!
I remember watching I Dream of Jeannie as a young girl. She still looks great. But all of the tragedy that happened to her...I cannot imagine. As a mother of a young son, I would not know what I would do. I give Ms. Eden her credit: she is very classy.
If you don't ask, you don't know. Barbara is a class act. Any one is lucky to have her. Because of those questions, I learned a lot. Thanks for a great video about a very sweet lady.
I have always loved you Barbara Eden!!! I hope you are able to reach alot of people with your message. I too am in recovery and want to help as many people as possible.
Dear Barbara,I am so sorry for your loss.Just know I'm 58 and like millions of kids growing up you made our life fun watching you on tv.Just know and I know you do,our life on earth is done in a blink but when Jesus opens his arms for that wonderful eternal hug all the pain will evaporate.
I absolutely love babara eden ,love the show i dream of genie.I feel for someone so beautiful ,she's been through so much and is a very strong woman . I will always love babara eden and the show i dream of . genie
Lovely Lovely Barbara Eden....... I Watched This And Was So Sad For Her....... And Through It All She Was Graceful & Elegant...... Discussing The Greatest Loss Of Her Life. I'm Seeing This For The First Time Here In 2019....... I Wonder How She Is And What's Her Life Like Now ?? Dear Miss Barbara, Wishing For You Only Happy Tears In The Future. Thank You For All The Fond TV Memories. God Bless.
People wonder why so called journalists are jerks. While the interview was informative and some of it nice for people to learn about. The parts where Connie became unprofessional is inexcusable. Barbara Eden was and still is a wonderful woman who has been doing the right thing all along through her life. So many of us in life has the ability to do the right thing. Sometimes no matter what we do we can't stop our families loss of our loved ones. I myself lost a wonderful relationship with the woman of my life who gave me the most precious gift ever in my lifetime. Our daughter. Barbara Eden and her family has had to endure one of the toughest battles of her life, a child that is no longer in her world. God Bless you Barbara Eden and her family. Your heart is in the right place. There are many of us out here that understand. Thank you Barbara for the wonderful work you have done all these years.
@@maddyhayes617 Yeah, in forums and blogs listing famous actresses past and present who've become prostitutes her name always pops up. Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly were known commodities even during their day in the sun. Anyone on Bob Hope's tours would be on that list as well.
Every time I hear her story it breaks my heart. I feel for her and her family. She took that interview like a champ until the end. I hope whatever network got their story.
As a parent, I feel her pain. Losing a child, regardless the circumstances or their age, is an awfully painful road. You feel helpless and want to save them at that same time. Eden is so beautiful now as she was 40 years ago.
She's such a classy brave lady. Hopefully the message gets out there to help parents be aware of what their kids are doing. Those smartphones are a big problem. We live in a time where our youth have been conditioned to see wrong as good and good as bad. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story! The interviewer is cold though, some questions are flat out mean, guilt tripping, wow.
Her efforts to save teenagers' lives from the drug's addiction is an act from God. Despite she cries remembering how her unique son Matthew died, she advertises and encourages parents of drugs addicters. God bless you in your mission, dear Barbara Eden!
Connie, didn't you hear her say your going to loose me? You wouldn't stop with the questions until your broke her down. I wish she really did have genie powers to blink you out of there.
Why is everyone being so hard on Connie? She is doing her job. If Barbara needs consolation then that is what a therapist is for. Connie Chung is not Barbara's therapist. Connie is not going to waste her time doing some fluff interview.
Such a beautiful and strong woman. So much class and poise! You were my first Hollywood crush Barbara when I was a little boy lol! I'm so sorry that you went through all of that! No one deserves to lose a child! God bless you!
Barbara Eden was in my life for a long time when I was young. She almost raised me, while watching I Dream Of Jeanie. She is all that I imagined and more. I think that I have found a new hero!! She is an awesome woman, strong, dignified, honest, sensitive, generous as well as being naturally beautiful.
Barbara Eden is so brave. I believe she did everything possible for her son with what information and resources she had. My older brother Joey died from recreational drugs back in 1977 in San Jose California and it tore my family apart. There are still mental and emotional scars today for the survivors, and that was 43 years ago. Happy 89th birthday Barbara Eden, you are eternally lovely and glamorous and strong.
With an interview, the key to getting insightful, thoughtful, & honest answers come from the questions that are asked. There’s a very similar interview that Ms. Eden did with Charlie Gibson, and many thought his approach was also blunt & insensitive. But I believe Ms. Eden wanted the opportunity to deliver the strong & powerful messages that she gave in this interview to parents everywhere who think their kids would never do any drugs. But trouble always has a way of touching our lives, no matter who we are & where we come from. The anti- drug PSAs on TV are a joke and no one takes them seriously. But her message speaks a very real truth. She’s a beautiful class act...inside and out.
Barbara Eden is exactly as warm, loving and giving as Jeanie. Who woulda' thought that she was just playing herself on that show. I was right to fall in love with her those oh so many years ago. They don't make em like that anymore.
My uncle's best friend worked on the set of "I Dream Of Jeanie". He said that Barbra Eden was a perfect lady. Never nasty, never lost her temper, and always respected the crew. What an all-round beautiful woman she is.
Barbara is still beautiful. Even more impressive is how sweet ,sincere and genuine she is. There aren't many like her around.
He seems so down to heart he says what make people love her was his chatacter in jeanie not her how many actors cant said that just because of her pride and arrogance

Barbara Eden is forever beautiful.
Isn’t mr Eden allegedly a satanick masonick helliweird created sellout and a gender inverted male that has been deliberately mocking and fooling the public for decades by masquerading as a female TV entertainer ?
She is still one of the most beautiful people that I have ever seen,both inside and out.
I love Barbara Eden and I feel so bad for her. Such a wonderful giving person.
I fell in love with Barbara Eden when I was 7 years old. I am still in love with her.
I hate that she had so much tragedy in her life.
I'm so sad for her... She's such a lovely, lovely soul. Big hugs to you Barabara. God bless you for all the joy you have given us and the trials you have had to endure.
My favorite icon in the world since I was 5yrs old. Nothing made me cry so hard then to see and hear Barbara break down like that over her son.

Barbara Eden is one classy lady.

She's also refined and very nice .she is someone who u can look up to
Lydia Thomason that is fabulous. What a great tribute, hope she sees that.
Yes I agree she is a classy lady.
Yes classy and beautiful but . . . . Her son grew-up lonely with no mum to guide him and love-him and be at home mum all the time, this is the price she paid to be prancing half-naked in holly-weird TVshow😈
I had no idea that Barbara Eden was enduring such suffering while maintaining a career!
I always liked her as an actress, but now I feel additional respect for her.
Usually celebrities have disastrous personal lives.

What a beauty Barbara Eden is one of my favorite actress
Barbara Eden class act.

Yes , you can feel how warm and loving she is . Such a wonderful woman Barbara is . I'd love to meet her and have a coffee with her
David, your right. She looks amazing! She is apparently taking good care of herself.
Successful plastic surgery.
You are right.
Every Parents worst nightmare, no amount of money or Fame can take away her pain.....
Such a sweet, beautiful lady.
Very beautiful
I burst into tears when Ms. Eden said her baby was 7 months and that she had to carry and birth a stillborn. So very sad.
She still looks absolutely amazing even now.
Barbara is so BEAUTIFUL , and classy ! Always loved her !!! So sad .

I feel so bad for Barbara! She has been through many tragedies in her life! She is a beautiful and strong woman!
i felt so sorry for her when she broke down and cried. i want to hug her and tell her everything will be okay
Joeyarhino1 yes and she looks so gracious. Man life is something. But God will make things right!
I know because I was thinking the same thing, She seems like such a darling person. Poor Baby
Believe me, I very nearly broke down myself when I saw her reaction.
She shouldn't have asked this question I felt so sorry for Barbara God Bless het

When I was growing up, I thought Barbra was the prettiest actress. So sad about the pain she went through.

No. In fact this shows that Celebrities are just like us when it comes to problems. Barbara and Connie are good friends
@@HowardPaulblasingame Blunt? Really? Tough, hard hitting. Right?
Barbara Eden the definition of an amazing woman
One of the most beautiful women in the world....still...
Sure $$ helps & so does surgery
Never knew this side of Barbara, she's always been my pinup girl, but now has my heart too.. What a lady.

Lost a second child.

What class Barbara has the way she handled all the tough questions of this interview.
Is it any wonder people don't trust "journalists?" Connie Chung makes me sick.
All journalists would not have handled that interview in that aggressive way.
Chung isn't a journalist. She's a TV personality. Just like her weirdo husband Maury Povich.
I remember when Connie Chung tried to railroad the great Coach Bobby Knight in an interview back in the early 1990's. She was pathetic.
Me encanta ella, es una mujer muy auténtica y maravillosa.
So sad. Even celebrities have big problems in their lives. I love Barbara.
I just love these kinds of old flix! I feel for Barbara; I lost my brother to drugs & alcohol in 2007.

Every time I hear her story it breaks my heart. I feel for her and her family. She took that interview like a champ until the end. I hope whatever network got their story.
I was a latch key kid and wacthed TV after school and had SUCH A CRUSH ON HER!
I always thought is was super cool when Barbara appeared on Dallas opposite J.R., even if it was only 5 episodes. Sort of a nice homecoming.
Barbara Eden I grew up with you, see all your shows, and im sorry for your loss, and you are a lady of class, god bless

Why is everyone being so hard on Connie? She is doing her job. If Barbara needs consolation then that is what a therapist is for. Connie Chung is not Barbara's therapist. Connie is not going to waste her time doing some fluff interview.
@@jackjules7552 it’s the Charlie Gibson GMA interview that gets people more riled up in the treatment of Barbara.
Class act. I adore her.

Such a beautiful and strong woman. So much class and poise! You were my first Hollywood crush Barbara when I was a little boy lol! I'm so sorry that you went through all of that! No one deserves to lose a child! God bless you!

A. Cobb Probably jealous. You can't help people to detoxify if they really don't want to. Parents were taken by surprise in that era.
Its probably from being married to maury for so long she picked up his questioning style.
Chung and hers ARE bottom feeders...................
Barbara Eden is exactly as warm, loving and giving as Jeanie. Who woulda' thought that she was just playing herself on that show. I was right to fall in love with her those oh so many years ago. They don't make em like that anymore.
