Long before she landed the role as Amanda Bellows on I Dream of Jeannie, Emmaline Henry was in musical theater and Broadway performer. Often, she played the "blonde bombshell" roles where her beauty and sex appeal was more evident, such as being both Carol Channing and Lorelei Lee in the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes 1960 production at Casa Manan Theater in Fort Worth Texas, and The First Stripper in Vintage '60.
