"I had a wonderful evening last Saturday night reuniting with Pat Boone, for the screening of 'The Yellow Canary.' Eddie Muller of TCM's 'Noir Alley' was a delightful host! Truly, it was a fantastic time!" she wrote.
Eden and Boone's 1961 film featured the actor as a sailor and the actress as a journalist who catches his eye, based on a 1957 novel, Warm Bodies by Donald R. Morris.

Eden kicked off this month by celebrating the character that made her a household name. On I Dream of Jeannie, the titular character's birthday is April 1. That conclusion came after an arc in the show's second season about how Jeannie didn't know when her birthday was. She asked her family, who couldn't agree on the date.
The episodes had an accompanying contest where viewers were asked to guess when Jeannie's birthday was. In the show, Tony and Roger used special NASA technology to try to get the answer for themselves. Eventually, it's revealed that her birthday is April 1, 64 BC.
"Happy 2,089th Birthday to that little playful entity who has been right over my shoulder for over 60 years! She's brought laughter and joy to so many and I truly feel fortunate to have been able to bring her to life. Happy Birthday, Jeannie!" Eden wrote in her post.
