At the time that Lee Majors and Farrah Fawcett got married, neither was as famous as they were soon going to be. Lee was a notable television star, but The Six Million Dollar Man was soon going to turn him into a household name. Meanwhile, Farrah was just a fledgling model with vague dreams of making it to the screen someday. Farrah had it written in her modeling contracts that she would be home in time to make Lee dinner. However, this wouldn’t be a possibility when Farrah was hired onto Charlie’s Angels.
Lee and Farrah got married in 1973, which was the same year that The Six Million Dollar Man was introduced to the world. Though the series proper didn’t start until 1974, the first made-for-television feature premiered in 1973. Meanwhile, Charlie’s Angels came on the air in 1976. When this happened, Lee and Farrah had almost no time to spend together, leading to their divorce. Join Facts Verse as Lee Majors confirms the sad reason for Farrah Fawcett's divorce.

Donal Cauthon I'm disabled, I'm 61 years old
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.
We shouldn't treat anyone like larger than life people. Even if they think they should be treated that way. We're all just people in the end.
Then, you can say that about every celebrity.
What I like about tv stars from the 70s they seemed more down to earth than today so called celebrities ❤
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.
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.
We're very happy to know that you had a chance to meet Lee and Lindsay! Thank you so much for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
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.'
REally???
@@Morgainell Yes. Facts.
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.
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.
Lee majors generously paid for the wedding of Bruce Jenner and his second wife, Linda Thompson. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
They were such a beautiful couple. It's sad their careers took them down different roads. Long distance romances are hard.
Why is it sad? They split amicably, and it got to the point where they were never able to see each other anyhow. Do you know how many hours principle screen actors work? Apparently not. On top of the fact. Farrah Fawcett was a top cover girl model and spokesmodel at the time. I remember going into a store and her face was on the cover of every freakin' beauty magazine
@@erossinema8797 Military families do it longer, it was sad as she didn't stay home like she said she would, many actors realize when you are both driven for stardom it seldom works, she ended up in a crazytrain wreck with Ryan, his children, her son's addiction problems, I believe it killed her early.
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
I remember that. Didnt Farrah star in the very first episode of the Fall Guy. If I remember rightly she was sitting on the steps of the caravan and he was passing and quietly and gently said how are you. She replied something and he said good. Mind I may have got that wrong. But I do remember her in the Fall Guy. I thought that was really kind of Lee to do that,
I loved both Six Million Dollar Man and Fall guy. Great shows. I had such a crush on Markie Post.
Remember he was already famous from Big Valley!
Truly, which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
When Farrah's career took off, Lee wanted her at home every night to cook dinner for him and he was annoyed that the spotlight was on Farrah. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@FactsVerse All! I watched every episode!!
@@FactsVerseThere is 3 The Bionic Woman seasons not 2, 2 aired on ABC the third season was aired on NBC
Loved Six Million Dollar Man! They don't make shows like that any more. Lee really made it worth watching, too. :)
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. Which comes in at second place?
@@FactsVerse Of course I loved The Bionic Woman too. During that time period, I was also a big 3's Company fan, and when 6 Million Dollar Man ended, I became a big Taxi fan. :)
what a amazing show when growing up ..
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What is your most memorable episode for you?
Farrah made 2 bad moves divorcing Lee and leaving Charlie's angels.
She made three other bad moves later.
1. Getting with Ryan O'Neal.
2. Having Ryan's child.
3. Not getting the radical cancer surgery in 2006.
CORRECTION: three mistakes; she was taking it via the rear tunnel from Ryan!
How I know... my then girlfriend was the maid and was responsible for washing the blood stained sheets...
@@travelseatsyellowlab I believe that Redmond O'Neal, the son of Farrah fawcett and Ryan O'Neal was sent to a mental health facility. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Worst move was getting with Ryan O’ Neal
@@kathykyle9319 100% he was a terrible man and person. I have never heard a bad thing about Lee Majors.
Lee visited her when she was dying. That is nice to know his last marriage is going well.
Lee majors is now married to a woman who is 35 years younger than him. He just wants a trophy wife on his arms. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Judgmental much?
@@kirk1007 It is judgemental.... although clearly he always chose absolutely beautiful women for relationships..... nobody should blame him for that..... perhaps it's why he's in his 80s and he's had a very full life.
@Harper Stacey men of wealth can always get young women...going on since beginning of time.
@@christinevillanueva54 if a woman gets a younger man, society frowns on it. That's not fair. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
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

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.
You're very much welcome! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse Wondering if you had done any videos of what happened to the careers of cast of Three's Company, or Charlies Angels or any behind the scenes. A couple of great shows in the 70s. Thanks.
Yes, I was coming to coming to comment the same. Bionic Woman aired two seasons on ABC and then was dropped by the network. But it was a very popular show, so NBC picked it up for its third season. It was very popular. I personally liked it much more the the Six Million Dollar Man.
You are right but the first season was a mid season entry with less episodes tan season 2 & 3. Season 2 was the best! It featured some outstanding acting, a lot of action and great writing. Strong performances in the episodes "Deadly ringer" and "Doomsday is today" won Lindsey Wagner an Emmy for best actress in a television series in 1977. Everyone predicted Kada Thompson would win for her role in the series "Family" but they were wrong.(Sada won the following year) Everyone gawked when Wagner took home the the Emmy because "The bionic woman" was looked as as a light weight series. They obviously did not watch those episodes I mentioned. ABC canning "The bionic woman" and NBC picking it up for a 3rd season did not work out well for the show. The first episode of "The bionic woman" on it's new network NBC introduced the bionic dog. That episode was good and was #7 show on the Nielsen ratings that week. Take that ABC! The following episode was the return of the Fembots in the episode "Fembots in Las Vegas" . That was also a good episode although the special effects were not as good as they were in season 2. By todays standards they are very dated! After those two episodes the rest of season 3 was terrible! The rating dropped to the bottom and NBC cancelled "The bionic woman" for a second time. Lindsey got what she needed out of the series and starred in many mini series one being the highly successful "Scruples" where Lindsey got to show a rags to riches television project with a lot glamour and international intrigue. Many for television project and even a film role. Lindsey briefly dated Sylvester Stallone and starred as his girl friend in the thriller "Night hawk" . A good film and a departure for Stallone from his "Rocky" film(s).
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 RUclips 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.
Wow, thank you for sharing such a huge amount of lesser known facts about these golden '70's superstars!
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.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
Good to know that they're relationship even after they divorced was amicable.
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

Discarding a relationship that has an investment of years, is never the best way to go, I agree with you!
Our species would be in a much better place if the institution of marriage was held in higher regard.
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
The Big Valley & The Fall Guy Were Great Shows! 👌🇨🇦
@@lordbison Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which episode of The Big Valley appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse -
There is an episode where a Man Questioned Mama Barkley ( Barbara Stanwick) about Heath ( Lee Majors) Not being her son even though she had 3 Kids From her late husband!
And even though Heath was born via an affair her late husband had, She loved & accepted Heath & told the Man basically " Heath Is My Husband's Son"
She accepted Him & He Loved Her and called her Mother ❤️!
"
@@lordbison I remember that episode. Good story line.
I had no idea that Heath was a half sibling….
Peter Breck was in an episode of the Six Million Dollar Man and played a Native American….
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.
Us too! We're very happy to know that you're a fan of Lee and Farrah. In your opinion, what is their finest role?
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 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
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.

Love the 70’s and early 80’s stuff…. I can’t explain how much I miss it !!! Today’s world sucks
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!!!
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Lee. Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
Thanks again for putting your videos together
I had a big crush on Steve Austin when I was 10 years old
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
It’s the dark side. I wouldn’t go there.
I have read that Lee Majors wanted Farrah to stay home and cook dinner. You never know what to believe
Yes, Lee majors wanted a traditional stay-at-home wife. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
So what. What’s wrong with a man wanting a traditional wife?
@@mariaellis2882 Farrah fawcett didn't want to be a stay-at-home wife. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
No that is not true as Farrah wanted off the set early and asked his permission to use him as an excuse and he gave it of course as Lee worked the same long day that she did and after a backlash against Lee Farrah admitted it was all her idea but nobody wanted to hear that but she said it herself
@@harperstacey9604 then she shouldn’t have gotten married
Lee starred in THREE separate hit shows, which would be hard to match.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
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
Had one too! Also had a six million dollar man doll and you could look through his eye. The 70s were awesome!!
@@sabrinaphillips916 OMG you had Steve Austin too?! Bet you made them snog 😆
@@JoJo-nur5e yeah I did! 😂 they were a couple like Barbie and Ken! That was such a great time to be a kid…so glad to chat with someone else who thought the same 😂
@@sabrinaphillips916 Isnt it weird how we were all obsessed with making our dolls kiss? I think every kid did it for some reason 🤣
@@JoJo-nur5e totally!! We’re mimicking what we think grown ups do! 😂I’m convinced Gen X is a very cool, very special, socially well-rounded group of people. I am so glad I grew up then and got the best of the 70s, 80s and 90s lol
I remember his 70's polyester leisure suits.😊
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 😎!!!!!!🇬🇧
Lee an Farah always love each other prayers 4 you both..love ya always..💖🙏
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Have a great weekend 💗
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.
You missed the most important part is she had an affair with his best friend Ryan O'Neil.
A woman ignored is a woman scorned.
@@crankychris2 a man who doesn't work loses his value.
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.💖
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.
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 .
Kind of an odd contrast for Ryan , who played a soft, humble character, Howard Bannister in " Whats up, Doc?". I did not like his nagging ex-fiance, Eunice ( Madeline Kahn). (I didn't like her much as an actress, either) Barbara Streisand was obnoxious, but in a fun way!
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.
Didn’t know Lee had creative control of his character. Very cool. Any information about a motion picture?
Massive fan of Lee Major. As a kid, his work brought me a lot of joy.😊
We're a big fan of Lee too! Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
She left for a poor and disastrous second choice
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.

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.
Lindsay Wagner was stunningly pretty back then.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
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.
Fun stuff, thank you for sharing your life story! We would love to see that action figure 😆
It also had a little bionic chip in the arm that you could remove. And it was easy to lose.
He turned up in Dallas the tv series reboot and did the voice of Jeff Tracey in thunderbird a few years ago.
Correction. Lee had stated in interviews that he didn't want Farrah around just to " fix his meals". That's ridiculous.
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
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
He introduced her to Ryan ONeal. Big mistake.
Ryan O'Neal was a notorious womanizer and he wasn't a friend to anyone. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
The most surprising part was that there were two movies before the series. Now I must find them!
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.
No, just no. lol Whether you like it or not, Farrah Fawcett was a huge phenomenon as one of the original Charlie's Angels. You can't change that fact. She was more popular than your buddy Cheryl Ladd. Who had her own problems because she couldn't get along with Kate Jackson who was considered the "smart" one on the show.
You mention the comparison thing with Ladd and David Soul. However, David Soul actually had a number 1 hit. Ladd never had a sniff of anything like that in her "singing" career.
At least Farrah was able to learn and get a lot better with her acting after she left CA. Example- Her work in the Emmy nominated role in The "Burning Bed," as Diane Downs in "Small Sacrifices" and stage work in "Extremities" is proof of that and proved that she moved on from "ditzy."
The roles you mention as in "Logans Run" and "Saturn 3" were her just starting out in movie roles and that should be mentioned. Apparently, Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg don't agree with your opinion of "ditzy" and that Farrah couldn't "sustain the consistent level it takes for a television series." They only took her to court and sued her to force her to make three guest star appearances a year for three years returning to CA.. That's how important the creators of Charlie's Angels considered Farrah Fawcett to be towards the success of CA. That sounds like they didn't want Farrah to leave CA.
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.
Yes, I remember that movie!
@@wendypartida2206 Got my copy. It's a great film. Watched it five times already.
@@j-manmarkus7591 Where did you end up finding it?
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.
They could've worked it out to remain married but things are done differently in Hollywood.
I thought this was going to be an interview with the actor??!!
The content was great.

When I was a child my first ever crush was Lee Majors in the Big Valley.
Me too. I ran home from school to make sure I didn’t miss it.
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..
Is the narrator trying to rewrite the break up? I’m old enough to remember the real story, that his friend Ryan backstab him
@@KillerBebe I truly doubt Lee would ask a Hollywood Playboy to look after his wife, but Ryan has confirmed that story on many occasions..😅
I believe Ryan's ego was so big back then that he didn't care who he hurt or had been with! A Jerk!
@@robynheavner4689 It took only one movie to send his ego into the stratosphere, and it was Love Story...I was very young when it came out, but I remember all the hype he received..he was humbled when he didn't receive an Academy Award nomination for Paper Moon, but his 9-year daughter did, and she won..he received jerk status when he didn't attend the ceremony..his ego wouldn't all allow it...😅
@@audreyhuggins874 She had quite the career boost when she de-glammed for the movies The Burning Bed, and Extremities..It was Ryan who couldn't keep his career afloat..he was eventually referred to as just Farrah’s boyfriend, which made him bonkers...
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.

Wrong. Farrah cheated on Lee with his best friend Ryan O'Neal. That's what ended the marriage. Case closed.
Farrah's marriage to Lee majors was already on the rocks before Ryan O'Neal entered the picture. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 and Ryan just happened to be Lee's best friend. Or WAS his best friend, lol.
I loved those shows growing up. I remember the bionic boy and dog were created to.
He was better to her. Abuser they say Ryan was.
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!

Those 8track tape days what a couple they were. 1973-79
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.
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.
_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)._
In 1976 me and my friend asked Lee Majors for an autograph and he did.
From straight as an arrow Lee Majors to HollyWeird playboy Ryan O'Neil..... some mistakes just cannot be recovered from.
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.
Lee knew Farrah wanted to be an actress and married her anyway.
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
Us too! Glad to know that you're a fan. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Eu adoro o filme
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.
So true! What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse maybe, "making of" and "story behind" vids. For some reason when i read your question i thought of the 80s original "V" series. Anyway, 80s TV is interesting.
I loved all of these people ❤
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. \\//
That fair false she was the prettiest whatever oh yeah oh yeah
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.
Lee majors and his ex-wife Karen Velez had one daughter and twin sons. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

@@angel4everable Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
You know Lee is lying cuz he’s not the kind to kiss and tell but he’s been seen with Ferrah
I thought she married Ryan oniel,
Although Lee is handsome farrah was on a whole new level of beauty. supermodel no doubt
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and enjoy the rest of your evening!
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.
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
I liked the Bionic Woman better than the Six Million Dollar Man.
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!!!!!!!
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
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.
I miss Farrah Fawcett
I always wondered if her suggest was one that made Lee envy her success
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.
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.
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.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! We're very happy to know that you had a chance to meet Lee. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
The bionic woman had 3 seasons, not 2 seasons as you stated
Boy that Ryan Oneil tho...yikes
Farrah went from the frying pan into the fire when she got involved with Ryan O'Neal. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
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.
True. It was not in her to be a wife.
@@johnconstantine1604 exactly!
She turned into a junkie. How did she bloom?
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…
The main topic starts at 5:20
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.
No worries, thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend 💗
