Greg II... I heard it myself from the anchor on CNN.

Besides, the article you quote says this: "In 2013, four decades after the show aired, a 78-year-old Eden slipped back into the outfit and channeled her most famous character for the Life Ball 2013 in Vienna, Austria."

What a terrible loss. I met her and Don Knotts at a show they were doing together many years ago, and she was just as beautiful as ever. R.I.P. Barbara.  :&#39;(

Ummm......I googled Barbara Eden and there's seems to be a discrepancy. Her last name is given as Morehead not Huffman http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001174/bio

There is no mention of her passing.
