Virtually all of us dream of attaining timeless beauty: good looks that never seem to fade; skin that remains smooth and supple; a smile that’s every bit as sprightly as it was in our youth.

I mean, in the grand scheme of things, appearance is far from everything, but growing old with grace is a boon that many of us secretly wish to be lucky enough to benefit from.

Of course, maintaining the same glow and vigor we had when we were young is virtually impossible. Aging is a part of being human and learning to accept the bodily transitions we go through as the years roll on is necessary if we’re to live contently.

That said, there are a lucky few who somehow manage to defy the hand of Father Time. You know the people I’m talking about; that select group of individuals who look incredible regardless of age.

For us, Barbara Eden sits firmly in that category. And we think that after you’ve seen how she looked at a recent red carpet event, you’ll wholly agree …

Barbara Eden was born in Tucson, Arizona, United States, in 1931. After her parents’ divorced, she moved to San Francisco, and there began her career studying voice at San Francisco’s Conservatory of Music.

Barbara sang in local bands at local nightclubs in Golden Gate City as a teenager. But after a while, she also decided to study acting.

“My mother said, ‘Barbara, you don’t sound like you mean a word you’re singing. I think you should study acting, too,’” Eden recalled to Closer Weekly.
