I Dream of Jeannie star Barbara Eden takes beloved dog Bentley for a walk in LA
The cheerful and trendy Barbara Eden was spotted showing off her age-defying physique while out and about with her adorable dog in Los Angeles.
The I Dream of Jeannie star seemed to have her hands full last Friday after her beloved Labradoodle, Bentley got a little too excited ahead of their afternoon walk, exclusive photos from DailyMail.com.
At one point, Eden’s husband of 32 years, Jon Eicholtz, was seen stepping in to give the eager dog a stern talk to keep him in line.

Eden announced she adopted the pup to fans on her Facebook page at the start of the pandemic in March 2020
But the actress proved she was still nimble and spry enough to handle the energetic pup at the ripe old age of 91 and ran off with him alone.
She also looked comfortable yet fashionable in a black puffer jacket, pink cable knit, black camo leggings and white sneakers.
She wore designer sunglasses and carried a Chanel designer bag.

She wrote at the time, “Here he is! The new addition to our family! Bentley! We’ve had him since the beginning of the month.

The outing comes just a few weeks after the Hollywood veteran attended the Remus Pre Award Tea Time event at The Beverly Hills Hotel earlier this month.
Eden looked glamorous and cheerful, even doing her signature genie pose, with her arms crossed in front of her on the red carpet.
The television icon landed her guest starring roles on several shows in the 1950s, such as I Love Lucy, Perry Mason, and Gunsmoke, before landing her first starring role as Loco Jones in the 1957 series How to Marry a Millionaire.
She continued to work in both movies (Twelve Hours to Kill, From the Terrace) and TV (Burke’s Law, Rawhide) before landing her breakout role in I Dream of Jeannie.

She is married to Eicholtz, her third husband since 1991. She was previously married to Charles Fegert and her first husband Michael Ansara – with whom she had her only son, Matthew Anasara, who tragically died of a drug overdose in 2001.
Although she lives a quieter life these days with her husband and Bentley in Beverly Hills, she remains active in her field.
“Sometimes one is forced to slow down, but I will do what I do until I can’t anymore,” she said in an interview in 2021.
