1934 is correct. I saw the marriage index from 1957 (January 1957) and there she is 23 years old. Everybody thought it's 1931 or 1932 because she went out of High School in 1949. It seems she was younger when she went out from high school!

I looked up some newspaper articles on newspaperarchive.com, and she was 21 in 1955. 1934 is most likely her true birth year.

The Wikipedia page on Barbara Eden has links that reference her birth certificate from Arizona (an unofficial copy), as well as a census record for 1940; the birth certificate is dated "1931", and the 1940 census record states that she is 8 years old. It is also accepted that she graduated from high school in 1949. Could she really have graduated from high school at age 15? So - a birth certificate, a census record and a high school graduation date - all more powerfully suggest, if not confirm, her birth year of 1931.

It was common for female celebs to fake birthdate so career is longer especially w/plastic surgery they can appear younger forever. Eden has always been known for her youthful looks & personality, she's adorable then & now!
