The 26th Annual Beverly Hills Film Festival played host to a star-studded crowd for the premiere of the new George Schlatter documentary, including '60s icon Barbara Eden.
The actress, 94, attended the opening night for the film Sock It To Me: The Legend of George Schlatter, documenting the life and career of the legendary TV producer, director and writer.
Barbara made a rare red carpet appearance on April 13 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California, dressed in a bright red pantsuit with nude strappy shoes and a lace top underneath.

Ever the good sport, the actress also struck several poses referencing her most iconic role in the sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, which ran from 1965 to 1970, with her arms folded up to her chest.
The actress played the iconic Jeannie, as the name would suggest, a genie in a bottle who is known for her playfulness, charm, beauty, and causing mischief, for its entire five-year run, playing opposite Larry Hagman as Anthony "Tony" Nelson.
Barbara later shared a photo from the event on her Instagram page, captioning it: "I had a lovely evening tonight at the Chinese Theater for the Beverly Hills Film Festival screening of 'Sock it To Me: The Legend of George Schlatter'. As always George is simply a delight!"
