Barbara Eden, a real estate agent from Jersey City, will be a contestant on a special edition of "Famous Names Week" on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," hosted by Meredith Vieira, today and tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. on ABC-TV
Barbara Eden, 58, a real estate agent in Jersey City, could have used a genie to fix a burst pipe in her apartment last July. Instead, she got a phone call saying she would be on "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" because of her famous name.
Eden will appear on today's pre-taped episode of the show as part of the program's "Famous Names Week." She shares a name with the lead actress from the 1960s sitcom "I Dream Of Jeannie."

Eden said being on the show was a great experience, but she's embarrassed by how she kept shrugging her shoulders and giggling on television.
