Jeannie is a beautiful young girl from ancient Baghdad. She was banished to a bottle by the evil and wicked Blue Djinn for refusing to marry him. Two thousand years later her bottle is discovered on the beach of deserted island by marooned astronaut Tony Nelson. Bound by the laws of the Great Djinn, Jeannie vows to serve her master and grant his every wish, but upon producing a rescue helicopter for Tony he releases her from her servitude. Jeannie may now be free to do as she pleases but, having fallen in love with Tony, she chooses to go home with her Master.

Barbara Eden's portrayal of Jeannie is one of the most memorable characters in Pop Culture history. Her unique combination of charm, beauty and 'girl next door' personality was the key that, to this day, has endeared her to audiences of all ages.
