For generations of television fans, Barbara Eden will always be remembered as the magical star of I Dream of Jeannie. Now 93, Eden has shared her grief after losing her dear friend and fellow TV legend, WKRP in Cincinnati actress Loni Anderson. Anderson passed away on August 3 at a Los Angeles hospital following a prolonged illness. She was 79.

In a candid conversation with Fox News Digital, Barbara Eden admitted, “I feel very lonely now that she’s not here. I miss her—I really miss her. I miss everything about Loni. She was just a very special, kind, sweet, good mother. You can’t say anything bad about her.” The two first met in 1981 while filming a Bob Hope television special, and from that moment, a lifelong friendship blossomed.
