Answer for "Jeannie" fans
Jeannie was born in Baghdad, Iraq, April 1, 64 B.C.
When she reached the age of marriage, her hand was sought
by the Blue Djin, the most powerful and the most feared
of all genies. When she refused his proposal, he became
enrarged; and in retribution turned her into a genie,
placed her in a bottle, and sentenced her to a life of
loneliness on a desert island. The centuries passed and
the girl in the bottle remained unaffected by time. On
Saturday, September 18, 1965, Captain Tony Nelson, an
astronaut on a flight from the NASA Space Center, Cape
Kennedy, Cocoa Beach, Florida, crash lands on a desert
island in the South Pacific. Seeking material with which
to make an S.O.S. signal, he finds a strange green bottle.
Upon opening it, pink smoke emerges and materializes into
a beautiful girl dressed as a harem dancer - a genie.
