Hollywood is reeling after a sudden and heartbreaking loss — and one legendary star is speaking out.
“I Dream of Jeannie” icon Barbara Eden is mourning the shocking death of her former co-star Patrick Muldoon, sharing an emotional tribute that’s hitting fans right in the heart.
The 94-year-old actress took to Instagram to remember Muldoon, who died unexpectedly Sunday at just 57 years old after a sudden heart attack. The two worked together on the 2019 holiday film “My Adventures with Santa,” and Eden made it clear the bond they formed stuck with her.
“So saddened to learn about the sudden passing of Patrick Muldoon,” she wrote, calling him a “sweet man” who was “very personable.”
Eden didn’t hold back as she reflected on their time together behind the scenes, revealing that Muldoon brought a special energy to set. She said she genuinely cherished their moments between takes, describing him as someone who made the entire experience more fun and memorable.
And the shock of his sudden death clearly rattled her.
“While the passing of a loved one is never easy, it is especially difficult when it’s unexpected and sudden,” she added, before sending her condolences to his family and friends.
But Eden isn’t the only one grieving.
Muldoon’s former “Days of Our Lives” co-star Lisa Rinna and actress Denise Richards have also spoken out — and the reaction has been emotional. According to reports, Richards has been left completely devastated, with sources claiming she “can’t stop crying” following the tragic news.
The details surrounding Muldoon’s final moments make the loss even more chilling.
According to reports, the actor had been spending a quiet Sunday morning at his Beverly Hills home with his partner when he went to take a shower. After noticing he had been gone for too long, she checked on him — only to find him unconscious on the bathroom floor.
Paramedics were called, but it was too late. Muldoon was pronounced dead at the scene.
The actor, known for roles in “Starship Troopers” and beloved soap appearances, leaves behind a legacy of charm, talent, and a reputation as one of the genuinely kind figures in Hollywood.
Now, as tributes pour in and fans process the sudden loss, one thing is clear — Patrick Muldoon wasn’t just another face on screen. To those who knew him, he was unforgettable.
