Barbara Eden in Person

"Jeannie" stops by the Egyptian for "7 Faces of Dr. Lao."

In just the last year the Egyptian in Hollywood has hosted Kim Novak and Leslie Caron, great ladies in cinema both. It can make a fan a bit spoiled, in a way, as they await to see who will be next on the Q&A stage. We fight feeling spoiled, however, and we always anticipate who is next.

And that next star? Barbara Eden. She'll be appearing at a screening of "7 Faces of Dr. Lao" -- the 1964 film also stars Tony Randall -- and she'll be signing some books, too. So there will be film chat, but if you're sweet on a certain candy-hued, astronomer-cute, genie-bottled sitcom of hers, bet that'll get a little love, too. How could it not?

The time is 7:30 p.m. on July 28. American Cinematheque notes that "Dr. Lao" won an Oscar for special effects. Ohhh, 1964-y special effects? Sign us up. The only 1964-y thing that can rival our love for special effects are title cards and credits. Pure razzmatazz wowie-wow, from that era. Pure razzmatazz wowie-wow.
