Hayden Rorke
October 23, 1910 - August 19, 1987
Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden gave a tremendous lift to their old "I Dream of Jeannie" costar Hayden Rorke as he lay dying of stomach cancer - by repeatedly visiting him in the hospital and boosting his spirits so much that his doctor let him go home!
"Seeing Larry and Barbara just sent my spirits soaring. It meant so much to me," 76-year old Rorke - who played psychiatrist Alfred Bellows on the show - told a pal.
And the pal added, "Hayden said he got strength to leave the hospital from seeing his old I Dream of Jeannie friends."

For the five seasons that she starred on the classic television comedy “I Dream of Jeannie,” Barbara Eden could conjure up anything from valuable artwork to an elephant with a nod and a blink.
So why did it take her four decades since the series ended its run to write a memoir about her life and career?
“Quite frankly, it scared the Dickens out of me,” Ms. Eden said in a telephone interview. “I was quite frightened of doing this. I’ve been asked several times, and it’s daunting to talk about yourself. It gets to the soft spots inside you.”
On Tuesday the Crown Archetype imprint of Random House’s Crown Publishing division said that it would release a memoir by Ms. Eden, called “Jeannie Out of the Bottle,” in the spring of 2011.
As its title implies, the book will have its share to say about “I Dream of Jeannie,” on which Ms. Eden played the mystically empowered title character from 1965 to 1970. “She’ll have a big voice in this story,” Ms. Eden said, “but a lot went on before Jeannie.”
Born in Tucson and raised in San Francisco, Ms. Eden, 75, studied singing at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and won the Miss San Francisco pageant in 1951 before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting. Though she’d performed comedy with the likes of Johnny Carson and Lucille Ball, Ms. Eden said that “Jeannie” was “just another job” when the series, about a 2,000-year-old genie and the American astronaut who discovers her bottle, came on her radar.
