Barbara Eden Got Along With The Lion

Can you believe that there was a real lion on the set?! Apparently, Barbara was good at dealing with the animal. She told Hagman that he should “stand very still” and let the lion get a whiff of him. Next, he should “lean forward very, very gingerly and stroke him as gently as you can.” It is said that Hagman replied, “I’m not making friends with any [bleeping] lion!” Even though the lead actress and the massive creature got along just fine, the lion roared as soon as Hagman entered the set for taping.

Aside from that, the producers of the show played around with their options until they decided on a song.
