 ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ actress Barbara Eden, 95, abruptly drops out of film festival


Actress Barbara Eden abruptly dropped out of appearing at the Cinecon Classic Film Festival due to a “sudden illness.”


“We’re sorry to share that, due to a sudden illness, Barbara Eden will no longer be able to appear in person at Cinecon tonight,” event organizers announced on Facebook Saturday.


“Barbara is deeply regretful that she had to cancel at the last minute, as she had been very much looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating with us,” the Cinecon 62 Classic Film Festival team continued.


We know how many of you were excited to welcome Barbara. We appreciate your understanding and join you in sending her our best wishes for a speedy recovery,” they concluded.


Though the “I Dream of Jeannie” star, 95, won’t be at the event, the film festival said they will still honor her, as she was set to receive the Cinecon Legacy Award.


Eden’s co-star Pat Boone accepted the award on the actress’ behalf. Both Eden and Boone, 92, starred together in “All Hands on Deck” and “The Yellow Canary.”


It’s unclear what illness Eden is currently battling.
