Barbara Eden- UPDATE on” Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”

 barbaraeden2Barbara Eden from Jersey City; the Realtor, not the Actress appeared on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’s “ special Edition of “Famous Names Week”

This is a follow- up on how she did on the show

Barbara Eden, walked away with $25,000 in winnings after incorrectly guessing the answer to the $50,000 question on Wednesday’s episode of “Famous Names Week” on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.” She started in the hot seat on Tuesday’s show, where she made it up to the $25,000 question. She continued as a holdover contestant on Wednesday’s show, where she started by looking at the $50,000 question with no lifelines left.

Barbara’s $50,000 question was: Category, ‘What a Bargain!’ – “Which of these U.S. states was not formed at least in part from land bought during the Louisiana Purchase? A: Minnesota , B: Arkansas , C: Colorado , D: Illinois.” Barbara guessed the answer to be “C,” but unfortunately, the correct answer was “D.” Barbara walked away with $25,000 in winnings.

Since 2005, a number of theater companies in Hudson County, New Jersey casually discussed forming a group of all the theaters in the area. In January 2007, six companies took the next step – they met and formally discussed the benefits of such a theater alliance, not only to the member theaters but also the arts community in Hudson County on a whole. The conclusion was unanimous and the Hudson County Theatre Alliance (HCTA) was formed.
