Time for a Jeannie blink back to my I Dream of Jeannie years. Although I worked extremely hard, I was content, both in my own career and in my marriage to Michael. When we were shooting the show, I would get up at five every day, arrive at the studio for makeup at six, and work until seven in the evening. In those days, none of the cast went to dinner together afterward, or to a bar or a club. We just rushed straight home and studied our scripts in preparation for the next day’s filming.

Now and again, however, Michael and I did make time to get together with friends like Steve and Neile McQueen, who lived in a small house in Bel Air, where we’d sometimes go to dinner. Later on, I was so shocked when Steve and Neile announced they were getting divorced, because when we were together it was so clear that they adored each other. After their divorce, we lost touch. Then some years later I was at Columbia Studios, heard someone calling my name, and turned around—and there was Steve!

He hadn’t changed a bit. It was as if time had stood still. We had coffee together and laughed, joked, and reminisced about the past. Steve was a genuinely good human being, a kind friend, and I remember him with great affection.

Which brings me back to I Dream of Jeannie, the show with which I will always be associated, the show that consumed five years of my life. Even with the wild roller-coaster ride I had with my talented, iconoclastic drama king of a co-star, Larry Hagman, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
