I just saw Barbara on CNN's History of the Sitcom. She's 89 (!!) but still looks pretty damned good.

Montgomery had a Grace Kelly quality to her. Had she been filmed in technicolor on a big budget Hollywood set, she would have been known as one of the all time elegant starlets.

She could have also been just as well cast as a French New Wave beauty. She just had that look.

In reality, She was kind of slumming it on Bewitched all those years with so much potential.

I was gonna post the same thing. Didn't they even make a comment about watching her walk away?

I think Barney said something like, "I'd tongue-punch her fart box." and Andy just replied with, "Noice."

Barbara Eden, before she took on the Jeannie role was on the old "Andy Griffith Show" on an episode called "The Manicurist" where she stops off in Mayberry and talks Floyd into letting her do manicures in his barber shop.


I notice that in all those old CBS shows. Perry Mason, Andy Griffith, Gunsmoke...they weren't having any notions of body positivity back in the 50's and 60's!

Every one of Perry's clients practically looked like this.

As the show is ending the scene of her walking away from the Courthouse while Andy and Barney are standing outside watching was pretty risque for that time period in network TV.

Almost a tribute to the exact scene in It’s A Wonderful Life when Bert and Ernie watch Violet walk away.

They look at each other and the cop says he’s going swing by his house and check on the wife. The cabbie says as the cop leaves, Oh, a family man.

Nope. As Fred Sanford told Lamont, “Son, there ain’t nothing uglier than an 89 year old white woman.” You can look it up.
