Actress

The Resume

    (November 1, 1938-October 8, 1979)
    Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
    Portrayed Amanda Bellows on I Dream of Jeannie (1966-70)
    Acted in 'Divorce American Style (1967),' 'Rosemary's Baby (1968),' and 'Harrad Summer (1974)'

Why she might be annoying:

    Her filmography was sparse.
    For all the obsession with not showing Barbara Eden's navel on the show by censors, Emmaline was allowed to appear with her navel showing on the beach in the episode 'Jeannie Goes to Honolulu.'
    She filmed a sexist episode of the show in which Mrs. Bellows uses a special face cream given to her by Jeannie which makes her look younger, resulting in her getting more (mostly unwelcome) attention from all the men on the show.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She began her career as a singer, appearing on local radio in her teens.
    Sidney Sheldon mentioned in an interview that she was a good actress who was very easy to work with.
    She prevented Mrs. Bellows from becoming a Mrs. Kravitz clone (she gave her more class).
    She died unexpectedly of a brain tumor at the age of fifty.
    She was set to have a recurring role on Three's Company as Suzanne Somers' boss but she died before it could happen.
