On her 92nd birthday in 2023, Eden told People that fans surprisingly remember her smaller acting roles.

“Every time I make a personal appearance, someone comes up and asks me about the manicurist, which I did one episode as on ‘The Andy Griffith Show,’” she explained.

“I also did one episode of ‘I Love Lucy,’ and fans remember that, too,” Eden shared. “When I was doing it, I just didn’t think about it, that it would ever live that long or people would remember it.”

Eden explained that her love for acting kept her in the business for so long.

Reality TV’s biggest stars. One unforgettable night.

“All through the years, I’ve noticed that many people don’t realize what a joy it is and what a gift it is to be able to work in an arena that you really love,” she said. “So many people have to work in jobs they hate, and they have to do it just for sustenance, but aren’t we lucky when we can study for something, enjoy it and know that other people enjoy it?”

“I think that’s a gift that life gives us,” she added, “if we are willing to work for it.”

As for her personal life, Eden has been married to her third husband, Jon Eicholtz, since 1991. She had a son, Matthew Ansara, who died of a drug overdose at age 35 in 2001.
