“There had been genie shows before, but it was always some big man saying, 'What can I do for you?'. I thought it would be fun to have a beautiful girl.”
— #SidneySheldon (1917–2007)

The creator of #IDreamOfJeannie, #ThePattyDukeShow and #HartToHart and the Oscar-winning screenwriter of #TheBachelorAndTheBobbySoxer (1947) was born on this day.

Later in life he was a prolific novelist.
