BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The City of Beverly Hills honored longtime resident and television star Barbara Eden on Tuesday, proclaiming Nov. 10, 2026, Barbara Eden Day and lighting City Hall in pink in her honor. The tribute came as Eden, who turned 95 on Aug. 23, is recognized for a career that spans seven decades.
The City Council took up the proclamation at its evening meeting at City Hall, where the agenda also included an appointment to the Public Works Commission and the Embrace Civility Award. After dark, the building was lit with a pink glow and an animation of Eden’s Jeannie character alongside a genie bottle, according to a photo the city shared on social media.
In its post, the city called Eden an entertainment legend and a longtime member of the Beverly Hills community. It said she has brought joy to audiences across television, film, theater and music, and that she has supported numerous charitable causes over the past seven decades. Although she will always be associated with the genie she played, the city noted, her work reaches well beyond that role.
Eden played Jeannie on the NBC fantasy sitcom I Dream of Jeannie from 1965 to 1970. Her credits also include a role on I Love Lucy, the Elvis Presley film Flaming Star and Harper Valley PTA.
The Council meets at City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive. Earlier in the day, council members held a study session that covered a draft development impact fee study and potential participation in an affordable housing trust that Culver City, Santa Monica and West Hollywood set up.
