I hung out with Lee for a night in South Florida… the weird thing was, I didn’t recognize him. Just asked his first name, and that was good enough. Just another guy. He was a decent normal guy to hang out with for a drink and talk to.

I met both of them separately. Lee Majors in 1978, and Farrah Fawcett in the 90s. Both occasions taught me they are simply real people, actors, and we shouldn't treat them like larger than life people.

Lee Major was already famous before The Six million Dollar Man for The Big Valley which also starred Barabara Stanwyck, Richard Long, Peter Breck and Linda Evans which originally ran from Sept.15, 1965 to May 19, 1969. Which ran 112 episodes. It has been rerun many times also.

The Six Million Dollar Man was my favorite show when I was a kid. I remember every Friday night I would always look forward to watching SMDM.

I met Lee Major and Lindsay Wagner in Manchester England. They were the mot loveliest people to meet. So down to earth. Im pleased that Lee is still with Faith he deserves happiness.

Love Lee majors. He is a sweet ole gentleman ❤️.he never bad mouths his loved ones publicly. He is always decent. Much bigger then brad or Angelina in the 70s, I think Lee waited for Farrah, he still called her his wife years after their divorce. Only when Farrah had Ryan o Neal's baby did Lee marry someone else. I don't think for me, he was the instigator of the split he was always so decent even after the divorce.

The relationship between Lee and Farrah is so nuanced. In my childhood, 'Six Million Dollar Man' was EVERYTHING. I loved it more than superhero comic books - and I adored comix. Ditto for 'Charlie's Angels.' Little is known that the relationship between Lee and Farrah inspired a song originally called 'Midnight Plane to Houston,' which was reworked and eventually became the biggest smash for Gladys Knight and the Pips, known more popularly as 'Midnight Train to Georgia.'

They were such a beautiful couple. It's sad their careers took them down different roads. Long distance romances are hard.

Lee visited her when she was dying. That is nice to know his last marriage is going well.

Lee Majors later starred in The Fall Guy about a Stunt man that was also a Bounty hunter. Which ran Nov. 4, 1981, to May 12, 1986, for 113 episodes also starred Douglas Barr and Heather Thomas. first season only Joann Pflug and seasons 2 thru 5 replaced by Markie Post. Executive Producer Glen A. Larson

Farrah made 2 bad moves divorcing Lee and leaving Charlie's angels.

Remember he was already famous from Big Valley!

Good to know that they're relationship even after they divorced was amicable.

Minor correction, the Bionic Woman lasted 3 seasons not 2 seasons. I have the full DVD set. Thanks for a great review on my 2 favourite shows of that time period. The show was loaded with guest stars who went on to bigger things. At one point, Six Million Dollar Man was on over 60 percent of all America TV sets when broadcasted in first few seasons. It was the first serious superhero show with a heart, and was a huge success.

what a amazing show when growing up ..

Loved Six Million Dollar Man! They don't make shows like that any more. Lee really made it worth watching, too. :)

Lee Majors and Farah Fawcett take me back to my early teenage years when I was in highschool in Iran. Farah Fawcett was and still is one of the most beautiful and sophisticated women ever. I was very sad when she passed away at such a young age. Well Lee Majors Im a big fan and the six million dollar man takes me back to much more happier days

Divorce is never the way out, My wife and I have been having issues before I sort out help from a spiritual adviser,i wasnt going to let my marriage of 18years crash

I find it so hard to believe he would ask RYAN to keep an eye on his wife knowing what a womanizer Ryan was and how gorgeous his wife was.

If Ryan was really lee's friend he would have stayed away from Farrah, but she really was'nt into lee but I'm glad he did find love again and Ryan's without his friend lee majors how sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I USE TO LOVE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN👍👍👍 THAT WAS THE SHOW YOU WOULD STAY UP TO WATCH NO MATTER WHAT TIME IT CAME ON😀😀😀 I HOPE THEY CONSIDER TO SYNDICATE IT👍👍👍 LEE MAJORS IS AN EXCELLENT ACTOR👍👍👍 I LOVE HIM PLAYING HEATH IN THE BIG VALLEY👍👍👍 HE REALLY MADE THE SHOW👍👍👍 HAPPY YOU GAVE UPDATE ON HIM👌👌👌

Thanks again for putting your videos together

This show 1974- 78 was my favorite show along with Bionic Woman 77 To 79 Born in1970 .. I was 5 to 9. Everyone in my era say their favorite shows were Charlie Angels, Six Million dollar man, and Bionic Woman, and Wonder Woman. All these shows I can watch on RU-vid channels right now. All these shows when I look at the acting is superb. The actors put a lot into character. No one right now could make any of these shows acting ability believable. Lyndsey Wagner was in other movies and she is very flexible. Farrah is a awesome actress in the Burning Bed and Farrah one a acting award. Lee Majors was in a couple of TV shows in the era before 74. I am so happy I can see these shows again and pick the episode I want to see. The channel FX started playing Six Million, Bionic Woman and Wonder Woman all in this order starting at 2pm. Then SciFi started playing the trio of shows. Now Charlie's Angels is being played on a certain cable channel.. Subrina Duncan and Jacklyn Smith , and Cheryl Ladd are also superb actresses with a very soothing in the moment tone and all had a serious content with their speaking on que. Shows now sound different and aren't believable. No one can do a Wonder Woman series and speak like Lynda Carter does as that character and sound like a real person with confidence. The shows have been revamped to a series or part of movies. They don't do Justice at all with the original version in the 70s if you compare the revamps. Six million dollar man ie Lee Majors wanted less killing etc. Wonder Woman and Bionic Woman changed channels to CBS and Bionic Woman was at CBS. Wonder Woman changed the era from World War 1 to current era. Diana Prince had a stylist making her war assistance uniform into a 1979 chic woman of that era. She also had new WW outfits, like her horse riding outfit, swimsuit outfit, skateboard, roller skate and all those were extra blasts and turns. She had actors or singers in the WW series. Lief Garrett singer, the Tarzan series actor, her sister Debra Winger, and others. I even dressed for Halloween as Diana Prince (WW alter ego) to the T. I also met Mrs Carter in 78' at the Kingdom in Seattle during BMX racing .Both did not renew.

I thought there was missing pieces of this story the work he did on The Big valley was totally ignored and hit TV show Fall Guy where he plays a stuntman

I will always love Lee and Farrah. Even though their marriage did not last, at least the love their supporters have for them always will.

I remember his 70's polyester leisure suits.😊

I had a big crush on Steve Austin when I was 10 years old

My favorite episode was when Andre the Giant dressed up as Bigfoot and picked up an Oak Tree and tried to kill him with it.

I had a bionic woman doll with roll up rubber on the arm to show the 'electronic'. OMG I loved that doll so much! :D

I remember I felt so trendy walking down the street ,with my six million dollar man jumper on,I was thirteen and thought I looked so cool 😎!!!!!!🇬🇧

Ryan said he wonders if Farrah would still be alive if they never met? He wonders if the toxic relationship and surroundings gave her cancer? His words. She should have taken Redmond as a baby and left.

Lee starred in THREE separate hit shows, which would be hard to match.

I remember reading at the 1970s beginning, psychic Hurkos warned Lee Majors not to marry Farrah because he had a vision that Farrah would leave him. But Lee was already too much in love and probably did not believe him. I find it eerie how they can predict things like that. Happened to me too

I have read that Lee Majors wanted Farrah to stay home and cook dinner. You never know what to believe

There was no mention of this in the vid, but Farrah became famous because of the iconic 1970's poster of her in the red bathing suit. Stunning! One of her earliest acting roles was a cameo appearance in 1970 on The Partridge Family and in 1977 she had the role of Holly in the movie Logan's Run.💖

I love Lee Major's!!! He is a great actor..... I watched every episode of ,THE six million dollar man,.... I would come home from school, do my homework, have dinner, then watch The Million Dollar Man... I also watched every episode of, THE Big Valley!!! I loved that show!!!!! I would like to see him more on TV!!!! Some producer, call him, we want to see him again!!!! Also, I love The Fall Guy!!!!! Keep making🥀🥀🥀🥀...... movies, Lee!!!

Correction The Bionic Woman lasted for three seasons the last season NBC picked it up after ABC canceled it.

The song Midnight train to Georgia was written when Farrah was chatting with a song writer about her going to meet Steve's parents. Steve was already famous. I remember them anytime i hear that song playing.

Sad we lost two superstars on the same day.

At the time of the split the papers were full of a different story. Lee was out of the country making a viking movie and asked his best friend, Ryan O'Neal, to look after his wife. Farrah left Lee and immediately took up with his ex-best friend.

You missed the most important part is she had an affair with his best friend Ryan O'Neil.

I prefer the story that Lee, leaving town for months, asked Ryan O'Neil to keep her company, and they fell in love.. Essentially, stealing her from Lee..

This story has Holes in it . Lee Majors was doing his 6 Million Dollar Man Show . He says he asked a Friend at the time Ryan O Neal that lived near by his home in Malibu , Ca to keep Farrah company when possible while Lee was away doing his show . Ryan and Farrah ended up Romanticly together permanently as Lee found out later . Ryan and Farrah were together for like 26 years from 1979 - 1997 / 2001 - 2009 til she died . So the thing where Lee and Farrah getting together intimately one last time before they divorced seems like Fiction . Ryan O Neal was an Ego Maniac , Domestic Violence , Hot Head of the Alec Baldwin Class . Ryan wasn't a Guy that would have allowed his new woman to have one last Fling / Tryst with her ex husband to be .

Lee an Farah always love each other prayers 4 you both..love ya always..💖🙏

She shoulda stayed with Lee, posed for Playboy 20yr.s earlier, been The Bionic Woman, made some better movies, stayed the hell away from O'neal and bad drugs, for a start. But, for a brief time in the 70's, she was the All-American Sweetheart fantasy! THAT'S how I want to remember Farrah.

She left for a poor and disastrous second choice

Correction. Lee had stated in interviews that he didn't want Farrah around just to " fix his meals". That's ridiculous.

Massive fan of Lee Major. As a kid, his work brought me a lot of joy.😊

He turned up in Dallas the tv series reboot and did the voice of Jeff Tracey in thunderbird a few years ago.

Didn’t know Lee had creative control of his character. Very cool. Any information about a motion picture?

The most surprising part was that there were two movies before the series. Now I must find them!

Lindsay Wagner was stunningly pretty back then.

The more shocking was that she stayed with her last partner when he was unfaithful Farrah Fawcett and Lee Majors still had a romance when they were getting a divorce

Wrong. Farrah cheated on Lee with his best friend Ryan O'Neal. That's what ended the marriage. Case closed.

My brother had the Six Million Dollar Man Steve Austin action figure. It had a hole in his eye that acted like a mini magnifying glass. Too funny.

Farrah Fawcett, God rest her soul, was an enigma. Blink and you missed her in Logan's Run. Her performance in Charlie's Angels was kind of ditzy and carefree - she basically phoned in the same cheerleader bubblehead act when she co-starred opposite Kirk Douglas in Saturn 3 as the love interest *cringe* = she strove hard to show her acting chops wanting to be taken seriously for her acting with that Extremities thing - and then I just remember how like Entertainment Tonight just like set up camp at her place to report on the death watch when she went thru her extended bout with stage 4 cancer. I think she might've been a bit innocent and how her character gets duped with a sort of deer-in-headlights look in almost everything she plays is almost meta for how she found the Hollywood experience. Charming as she was, Cheryl Ladd acted the pants off her in the rest of the seasons of Charlie's Angels - and Cheryl Ladd, like David Soul, was really a singer not even an actor... I just don't think Farrah could sustain the consistent level needed for series television work. Lee Majors is a bit like Clint Eastwood when it comes to his love life and his marriages - well maybe Clint fooled around a bit more - but I have to honestly admire Lee Majors - his father died before he was born in a work accident and his mother died in a car crash when he was 17 mos - he went from Michigan to Kentucky when he was two, adopted by his uncle and aunt. Wow.

He introduced her to Ryan ONeal. Big mistake.

I thought this was going to be an interview with the actor??!!

Lee is being gracious, Farrah married because of his fame and connections. She never intended to be a stay at home wife! Never cared much for her myself.

I have watched six million dollar man so many times. Love Lee Majors. He still looks good for a man his age. I loved the bionic woman too. Thank you for this video.

The Six Million Dollar Man was a childhood favorite of mine. Now I'm trying to get a copy of "Just a Little Inconvenience" with Lee Majors, James Stacy and Barbara Hershey. No official release was ever made. Just old fan recordings. A shame.

The content was great.

When I was a child my first ever crush was Lee Majors in the Big Valley.

I loved those shows growing up. I remember the bionic boy and dog were created to.

Lee Majors helped Farrah Fawcet get better pay at Charlie's Angels. He was making 8 times more money than she was when she began that show. I'd be making dinner too.

Those 8track tape days what a couple they were. 1973-79

From straight as an arrow Lee Majors to HollyWeird playboy Ryan O'Neil..... some mistakes just cannot be recovered from.

Well sometimes these things can happen as to the how the why the thick and the gist of it when married couples find that they're not spending as much time together then it makes sense for them to get divorced.

I was about 8 years old when this show started. And I seriously lost my shit when the the Bionic Women died. That was seriously debilitating to my development! Her bionics brought her back but she was not the same mentally.

My friend and I would always imitate the Six Million Dollar Man bionic arm sound, super funny. Lee was easily the best looking guy of the day, Fall Guy was good too!

Thank you for sharing the facts about Farah faucet in Lee Majors sadly it ended but if that was best for them that’s OK❤

He was the original TERMINATOR before Arnold Schwarzenegger 1984 (Cyborg) on tv during the 8track tape era "Six Million Dollar Man"was ahead of it,s time --Farah Fawcette was a totally beautiful woman like Olivia Newton John forgotten times now sad.

He was better to her. Abuser they say Ryan was.

Eu adoro o filme

I loved all of these people ❤

The world has changed so much. I think the 80s was the start of the end. Surprised we made it this long honestly. When i was 4 or 5 watching the Fall Guy it was all so innocent.

In 1976 me and my friend asked Lee Majors for an autograph and he did.

_Am about to watch the video, but in the synopsis above, you noted neither was famous before Farrah and Lee married. (This is so not true. Lee Majors starred in 'The Big Valley' from '64 to '69. And Farrah was already doing commercials by 1969). They married in '73. (Also Farrah was acting since 1970, granted it wasn't until '76 that her meteoric rise to fame with 'Charlies Angels' cemented her fame)._

Six million dollar Man's first love interest was Lee Majors own wife Farrah Fawcett. She had guest appearances on the show as his girlfriend and was supposed to be the original bionic woman but Charlie's Angels came along.

Lee Majors was not a "good fit" for Farrah Fawcett ... she was a very talented person and he really didn't want her to reach her potential. He wanted her "there for him" all the time. Glad Farrah was able to "bloom" and have the career she so deserved to have in her lifetime.

ESQUIRE magazine reported that once a thief broke into the home of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah and Ryan tried to get him to leave by shouting "I'm Ryan "Love Story" O'Neil and this is Farrah "Charlie's Angels" Fawcett!" Lee's third wife, PLAYBOY Playmate of the year for 1985 Karen Velez, is still around and works as a professional hypnotist-psychologist. She and Lee have one son.

EMT ( I work on an ambulance) here... during the surgery her pulse was 140 (that is very high) and her blood pressure was 19/129!!!!!!!!!! WTF !!!! that does not even make sense...also ( I may be wrong) but the brief shot of the printed EKG did not show a P wave... Does the bionic woman have Afib?????? Back when medical scenes did not have to be accurate or make sense...I was born in the sixties and I had the bionic man action figure with the bionic eye..good times!!!!!!!

I always wondered if her suggest was one that made Lee envy her success

I thought she married Ryan oniel, Although Lee is handsome farrah was on a whole new level of beauty. supermodel no doubt

Lovedvwatching the six million dollar man growing up in the 70s also Charlie's Angels and Starsky and Hutch now there were good old days

I miss Farrah Fawcett

Honestly.... 'You've Got To Be Kidding...' Couples don't simply divorce and go their separate ways, just because they actually have a job. In my experience, and from what I've been told for the last 56 years, is: - Couples divorce and move on, because they begin to want different things. In truth, as much as your spouse can be very attractive, after a time, she's just another person, regardless of all the hype. When things get complicated, being intimate with your spouse, ..really isn't the first thing on your mind; you tend to get tired of them, and they get tired of you, and just as soon as one of them actually finds somebody umm.. 'More appropriate....they split.' - The End. - Peace. \\//

You know Lee is lying cuz he’s not the kind to kiss and tell but he’s been seen with Ferrah

I love when couples divorce amicably... that is , end their marriage and still be good friends. I don't condone divorce at all. But if it is absolutely necessary, I rather a divorce and separation be handled peacefully, than bitterly and out of hate, especially when children are involved.

He had it written into her contract at Charlie’s angels that she could leave to go home and make him dinner.. he wanted her to be an “at home wife” that’s why they divorced…

Lee Majors was the six million dollar man farrah just got tired of running all of those errands to Radio Shack for parts every time lee blew a fuse.

I liked the Bionic Woman better than the Six Million Dollar Man.

I met Lee on the set of Keatons Cop back in 1988 filmed in Galveston, Texas. Celebrated his 50th Birthday with him & the crew. I remember seeing a baby crib in his suite & found out he was then married to Karen.

Love Lee majors in 6mdm my childhood right there...always liked him he had a good vibe about him...and it's a shame he and farah didn't stay together...never liked Ryan O'Neil something about him didn't seem a nice man

My dog hit the keyboard and switched it to another video...ignore my previous post... it was for the episode where the bionic woman was introduced in the Bionic Man.

Farrah might be dead. I know speculation on this matter sounds nuts but I told her 35 years ago since she had terrible problems from that poster, that she would have to fake her death to get out of Hollywood alive. I waited on her hand and foot for 10 years using spiritual forces to calm the matter down. All I asked her for was to keep me employed as at that time, as a handyman. And she did so. She lived nextdoor to Cheech Marin in Malibu on PCH. When she 'died' 8 years later her house was torn down, foundation and all. Looks like it was never there. More than anything she was a good friend. And had to be distant because she was so famous. But the best friend I ever had. Don't know if she is dead, where she ended up.The problems occurred because the name Farrah is actually and Egyptian name for the wife of a Pharaoh. I told her about it. But no response because she was so bewildered she was a victim of the name. Worked 10 years to help her out and gave up because it was too much for me. Whether she is dead or not, I lost a friend. The most wonderful person I ever met. That's why I go to the cemetery and pray for her. It is not logical for a poster girl to die of anal cancer. Ask any women's club members. I think womanhood got ripped off because of this. Very disrespectful. But God knows what really happened and all I have left is a headstone to look at.

The main topic starts at 5:20

The bionic woman had 3 seasons, not 2 seasons as you stated

I like Lee majors ❤️
