When I Dream of Jeannie premiered on NBC on September 18, 1965, it quickly became one of the most popular sitcoms of the decade. Created by Sidney Sheldon (who later became an acclaimed novelist), the series starred Barbara Eden as a beautiful 2,000-year-old genie who falls head over heels for astronaut Tony Nelson, played by Larry Hagman.

Throughout 139 episodes and five seasons, viewers watched their playful relationship blossom into something deeper, with the two eventually marrying. It has since become a classic TV favorite and begs the question, who is still alive from the series?

Eden’s portrayal of Jeannie made her a household name, but her career went on long after she left that glass bottle. After Jeannie, she starred in over 25 films, 19 TV movies and five TV series, including roles in Harper Valley PTA and guest appearances on shows like Dallas alongside her former co-star Hagman. She also performed in musical comedy tours, theatrical productions and headlined Las Vegas acts. Eden has remained active well into her 90s, still making public appearances at conventions and fan events.

As of 2025, Eden is the last surviving main cast member of I Dream of Jeannie. Here’s a look at some of the stars from the series who have since passed away:

Larry Hagman, who played the charming and often flustered Major Tony Nelson, passed away on November 23, 2012, at the age of 81. He died from complications of acute myeloid leukemia. After Jeannie, Hagman gained even more fame for his role as J.R. Ewing on Dallas. Despite their different personalities, he and Eden remained close friends over the years.

Bill Daily, known for his role as the lovable and bumbling Roger Healey, died on September 4, 2018, at the age of 91. He passed away of natural causes at his son’s home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Daily also had memorable roles on The Bob Newhart Show and Love, American Style.

Hayden Rorke portrayed the suspicious Dr. Bellows, always attempting to catch Major Nelson in some outlandish act. Rorke died of multiple myeloma on August 19, 1987, at the age of 76.
