Abstract

"Jeannie out of the bottle" takes us behind the scenes of I dream of Jeannie as well as Barbara's dozens of other stage, movie, television, and live concert performances.

But Barbara's story is also an intimate and honest memoir of personal tragedy : a stillborn child ; a verbally abusive, drug-addicted second husband and the accidental heroin-induced death of her adult son. Barbara reflects on the challenges as well as the joys she has experienced ...
