‘I Dream of Jeanie’ Alum Barbara Eden Shares Sweet Tribute to Late Costar Patrick Muldoon

Barbara Eden shared her thoughts on the death of her former costar Patrick Muldoon in a heartfelt tribute on social media.

The former I Dream of Jeanie star, 94, took to her Instagram on Monday, April 20, shortly after news broke that the Days of Our Lives actor died of a sudden heart attack at age 57. The actress shared what appears to be a behind-the-scenes image of her on the set of the 2019 Christmas movie My Adventures with Santa alongside her costars Denise Richards and Muldoon.

“So saddened to learn about the sudden passing of Patrick Muldoon,” she began the post.

“Patrick was a sweet man who was very personable. I enjoyed the time we spent between takes and just enjoying each others company in general during the production of the film,” she continued. “He made the experience even more fun. While the passing of a loved one is never easy, it is especially difficult when it’s unexpected and sudden as I understand Patrick’s was.”

Eden concluded her thoughts by offering her condolences to her late co-star’s friends and family.

As Closer previously reported, the Starship Troopers actor’s sister told TMZ that Muldoon enjoyed a cup of coffee with his girlfriend, Miriam Rothbart, at the home they shared in Beverly Hills before deciding to take a shower. Shortly after, Rothbart noticed he was taking longer than usual and went to go check on him.

She reportedly found him unconscious on the bathroom floor and called paramedics, who later pronounced him dead at the scene of an apparent heart attack.

Muldoon and Rothbart began dating in 2023 and remained together until his death.
