BARBARA EDEN FINDS HER INNER NEAT FREAK IN ‘ODD COUPLE’



TULSA, Okla. (Wireless Flash) – Barbara Eden is discovering her inner neat freak by playing the female Felix Unger in a ladies’ version of The Odd Couple. The former I Dream Of Jeannie star is currently touring the U.S. in the estrogen-soaked Odd Couple stage production, which features her as the orderly divorcee “Florence.” It’s a fitting role for Eden, who admits in real life both she and her husband Jon are a bit obsessed with neatness. “Let me put it this way,” she says, “Our sock drawers are very tidy.” Still, Eden isn’t exactly playing herself on stage. She says she plays the part of Florence more neurotically than the original Felix character and says she hopes “...to God I’m not like that in real life.”
