      She's not a pop singer. Son of a Preacher Man was a bad choice. That's Dusty Springfield's tune. Barbara can't sing that shit. But she's better at Broadway show tunes I suppose.

      I guess it's kind of like the Maryanne or Ginger from Gilligans island debate.

      ​@@jonathanswift2251Is there not room for both? I definitely agree that Elizabeth Montgomery was stunning as well, and of course they didn't create or write the series they starred in (although Ms. Montgomery was married to William Asher, the director of Bewitched, for pretty much the entire run of the show.) I just count myself as being lucky for having been a young lad during this era. :)

    Such a treat to find this all these years later. In 1969 I was just a little girl but I remember Barbara Eden she made a big impact on me. I love how late night shows back then were so entertaining and quality. And I love the part where they have him ask for two checks and she makes a sour face. Back then we knew that if the man wanted to spend time with us he needed to pay the bill. Nowadays women are throwing themselves at the wrong people. It's such a shame. We need to bring back real woman power. And I was being raised I was told that a woman has power and to never give that away.

    Barbara almost had everything. She could act, sing, dance, a good sence of humor, she was funny and beautiful and even had a fisty side to her too, etc. She's still kicking and still has those those things. I used to have a crush on her and a few others during that time. ❤

      @@augustusmccrae7714 You're not mistaken. But people remember things differently. Best example: people identify that awful 70s dirge "You Light Up My Life" with Debby Boone. But the original singer was Kasey Cisyk, whose name seems like something on an eye chart. She sang it for a movie with the same name, while Didi Conn lip synched it. Also, many might think Frank Sinatra introduced "NY, NY." He didn't, but he made a big hit out of it.
