Barbara Eden (no, not of I Dream of Jeannie fame) but a 58-year-old real estate agent from Jersey City who will be a contestant on a special “Famous Names Week” edition of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” showing on this Tuesday and Wednesday. Hosted by Meredith Vieira, “Millionaire” can be seen locally on WABC-TV weekdays at 12:30 p.m.
For the first time ever, “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” will showcase ordinary people who share their name with a famous person as they try to cash in on their newly found fame in the “Millionaire” hot seat. Other contestants appearing on “Famous Names Week” will include:
* James Bond (College Judicial Administrator from Silver Spring, MD)
* Bill Murray (Real Estate Agent from Las Vegas, NV)
* Jesse James (Soldier in the U.S. Army from Harlem, GA)
* Janet Jackson (Retail Sales from Waterford, MI)
* Seth Green (Non-Profit Consultant from New Haven, CT)
* Bill Gates (Pizzeria Owner from Philadelphia, PA)
As for Eden, she gets a big kick out of her name especially when her cell phone rings, since her ringtone is the “I Dream of Jeannie” theme song. - Ricardo Kaulessar
