The I Love Lucy role was one of Eden’s earliest credited acting gigs. Eight years later, she’d go on to star in the NBCsitcomI Dream of Jeannie opposite Larry Hagman. The popular series aired for five seasons and made Eden a star.
Speaking with the Television Academy Foundation, Eden, who is now 94, looked back on the role on the iconic 1950s comedy series.
“It was one of those things, and of course I danced with Desi, and that gave Lucy lots of fodder, you know, to make her faces and look upset,” she added. “And it was fun.”

The actress noted that I Love Lucy was her third job in Hollywood. And while she was careful to stay away from Ball’s husband– “I knew Desi was a playboy, so I knew I had to be careful there,” she said—she totally hit it off with the comedy queen.
