In a separate interview with People, she reiterated how she felt "really lucky" in her twilight years.
She said: "I have dear friends. I have a wonderful family, a very supportive husband, a dog who is adorable, but a brat! Yes, I'm very happy. I think life, everything, has to work itself out. There's a reason for most things, and I can't wish for it."
With a career spanning almost seven decades, Eden has quite the resume.
Though she's best known for portraying Jeannie in NBC's hit sitcom, she's also starred in 25 films, 19 made for TV movies and five TV series. Despite her major accomplishments, Eden was very fond of the smaller roles that initially introduced her to viewers.
She said: "Every time I make a personal appearance, someone comes up and asks me about the manicurist, which I did one episode as on The Andy Griffith Show. I also did one episode of I Love Lucy, and fans remember that, too. When I was doing it, I just didn’t think about it, that it would ever live that long or people would remember it."
