She was cast as Jeanie in 1965 until it was taken off the air in 1970. She has amassed millions of fans since its airing and has even written a memoir titled "Jeanie Out of the Bottle" and a children's book "Barbara and the Djinn". 

Barbara speaks fondly of her fanbase and calls them "the best in the world".

"'They're the best fans in the whole world," she said at a fan convention. "When I get up on the big stage, I speak, and then I do the Q&A, I'm sometimes surprised. They know more than I do about my work!"

At 94 years of age, the actress seems to show no signs of slowing down either.

In an interview with People, the blonde beauty shared her secret to longevity. "All through the years, I've noticed that many people don't realize what a joy it is and what a gift it is to be able to work in an arena that you really love," she said.

"So many people have to work in jobs they hate, and they have to do it just for sustenance, but aren't we lucky when we can study for something, enjoy it and know that other people enjoy it? I think that's a gift that life gives us, if we are willing to work for it," she added.

She also explained to Fox News that she's swapped cardio for weight training to keep herself fit and healthy. 

"I used to work out all the time. I used to do spinning classes and then do weights with a trainer," she said. 

"When Covid hit, that ended my heavy workouts. Now I have a stationary bicycle and I lift five pounds. I use very lightweight weights, but they're good for your bones."
