    When casting was open for the role of Jeannie for "I Dream of Jeannie" what was the one specific rule that Sidney Sheldon expressed and why?

    Question #76763. Asked by skysmom65. (Mar 05 07 1:05 PM)

    		No blondes!

    From Wikipedia:

    "Sheldon said that he didn't want a blonde genie because there would be too much similarity with the blonde witch on Bewitched. However, after many unsuccessful auditions he called the agent for Barbara Eden who had costarred in the The Brass Bottle and then had tea with her at the Beverly Hills Hotel."
