Barbara Eden Reflects on Her Iconic 'I Dream of Jeannie' Costume and Friendship With Elvis Presley (Exclusive)

Barbara Eden is sitting down for her 'TV grEaTs' interview and looking back on her career and personal life.

The actress' Jeannie costume -- a two-piece with high-waisted, billowing pants and a crop top -- became a cultural touchstone, parodied and recreated countless times over the years. While the costume may have caused controversy -- and even a rumor that the network censored her belly button-- at the time, Eden said "it's nothing" by today's standards of what happens on television and in movies. The actress also touched on her relationship with her Flaming Star cast member, Presley, who she had such great chemistry with that it sparked romance rumors.
