Hi, my name is Jae and I'm a big Barbara Eden fan and I thought you should add something to your site. On a few other sites it's being talked about, but it's very new news! A writer named Porochista Khakpour has written a novel called SONS AND OTHER FLAMMABLE OBJECTS and it all about a young boy who is obsessed with Barbara Eden and "I Dream of Jeannie." He is Middle Eastern and Jeannie for him gives him an out from his difficult life. I just read it and loved it. It got a wonderful New York Times review (it all over the press, just came out) and I heard the author on Kurt Andersen's NPR show (she loves Barbara Eden and at the end of the show, they even play the Jeannie theme song!) The author's website is www.porochistakhakpour.blogspot.com/I wish Barbara could see it and know how special she is to so many different types of people, an even acclaimed author! ;D ;D ;D

Wow. i wish all of the true Barbara Eden fans could meet her, and tell her how many hearts she has touched throughout the years. The olny people that get to meet her are famous people, that don't give a hoot about her.
