"My husband and I like to travel. We recently took a trip to Africa — we've been all over, to places like China."

In her autobiography, "Jeannie Out of the Bottle," Eden and Ansara called their child "Lucky-charm baby." In 2001, Matthew tragically passed away from a drug overdose.

When he married Eden, Fegert was an executive of Chicago Sun-Times. He became a big name in advertising. He later purchased his very own top management team.

Fegert tragically died in his sleep. His daughter Lisa Fegert once said, "He was always fun. He was the funnest dad and the funnest grandpa, always doing imitations and singing. All the grandchildren were sitting around the table singing songs he taught them."
