BEIJING, June 30 — U.S. actress Barbara Eden, 75, a former star of the 1960s TV series “I Dream of Jeannie,” is writing a memoir about her career in Hollywood, media reports said Wednesday.

The memoir, titled “Jeannie out of the Bottle,” will be published next year, according to its publisher Crown Archetype.

Eden said in a statement on Tuesday that “it’s time for me to pop the cork and talk about the amazing people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet along the way.”

Eden co-starred with Larry Hagman in the TV series “I Dream of Jeannie” about a beautiful genie named Jeannie. Hagman played the astronaut who found her on a beach and is constantly trying to keep her existence a secret.

The series, aired between 1965 and 1970 with 139 episodes, has been widely rerun on cable TV throughout the world.
