At 29, he was diagnosed with clinical depression and prescribed medication, though it didn’t seem to help. By 31, he was sober again and following in his parents’ footsteps, landing a starring role in the 2001 film To Protect and Serve. He was engaged and excited for the future, telling his mother, “Life is great, Mom. I can’t believe I spent so many years not being awake to how green the trees are.”
But soon after, tragedy struck. On June 26, police found 35-year-old Matthew slumped over the wheel of his truck, with vials of anabolic steroids nearby. The autopsy revealed he had died from an accidental heroin overdose. Eden later said that even in fitness, her son was obsessive, unable to do anything in moderation.
Eden, now married to Jon Eicholtz since 1991, continues to search for answers, wondering if their divorce had a lasting impact on Matthew’s struggles. “He won a lot of battles. But he lost his personal war,” she reflected.

Matthew is buried next to his father, Michael Ansara, who passed away in 2013. As for Eden, though she retired Jeannie’s pink harem suit, she remains active, appearing in shows like Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition and the 2019 film My Adventures with Santa.
