As Barbara Eden, her husband Jon Eicholtz, and their Labradoodle Bentley looked to Spring, she wished her fans "an abundance of happiness and good health" on Monday.
Barbara Eden wrote that she has embarked on her tour of the country, "I look forward to new adventures and creating new memories. Hope to see many of you along the way!" A fan commented, "You're still as beautiful as ever, love you."
"I think it's cool that you are traveling and performing and meeting fans into your nineties... and making your tenth decade a special one! " another noted. They also marveled at her contemporary, nonagenarian William Shatner's recent space flight as an example of the older generation's vitality.
"Hard to believe you're in your 90's, even with surgery!! Good Health for you. God Bless Barbara!" a person wrote, suggesting the happily married star "should get together" with her "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" co-star Frankie Avalon.
Eden gave photographers their money shot by doing her "I Dream of Jeannie" pose, gamely smiling as her clutch dangled in the air, at an event at the Beverly Hills Hotel last month.
The actress played a genie in the 1960s TV series. The 91-year-old wore a pop collar blue silk blouse and dark slacks, accessorized with black and white gem jewelry and black heels.

Barbara Eden Felt Sorry for Her Dad
After she entered her ninetieth decade, Eden told Page Six that she still felt "young," keeping an active social calendar and exercising with her private trainer at home. She feels very fortunate to be in a profession that she loves, adding:
"I feel sorry for people like my poor father who had to work every day at something he didn't like. I enjoy my work. I still work."
Barbara Eden married Jon Eicholtz, her third husband, in 1991. She explained in an interview that compromise made their relationship work for over three decades. She is not a sports fan but will watch games with Eicholtz because she loves him.
Despite him being "a little skittish around dogs," the couple added "a COVID dog" to their family during the pandemic to liven up their home. She had a son Matthew Ansara with her first husband, Michael Ansara, and was briefly married to Charles Donald Fegert.
