Six Million Dollar Man Lee Majors who was married to Farrah Fawcett turns 86... see him now

Six Million Dollar Man Lee Majors who was married to Farrah Fawcett turns 86... see him now

Daily Mail​24-04-2025
Lee Majors was one of the biggest male stars of the 1970s thanks to his hit TV series The Six Million Dollar Man.
Often he popped up on another ratings dynamo, The Bionic Woman.
He was also the lead of the hit show The Fall Guy, which was made into a movie with Ryan Gosling.
Lee had it all, even the beautiful blonde wife, Farrah Fawcett, who starred on the equally successful Charlie's Angels.
Majors is still thriving.
On Wednesday he embraced turning 86-years-old as he made an Instagram post.
'Another year around the sun….and while the calendar might say 86, I like to think of it more as '68' with a few bonus chapters,' wrote the iconic Hollywood great.
'Grateful for life, love, and all the blessings. Here's to living well, staying sharp, and aging like the legends do.'
These days Lee is happily married to Faith Majors.
They tied the knot in 2002.
He has three ex wives: He was married to Farrah from 1973 until 1982.
Before that there was wife Kathy Robinson whom he was wed to from 1961 until 1964.
And then there was Karen Velez, his wife from 1988 until 1994.
In 2019 the actor opened up to People magazine about his nearly 12 year relationship with the Charlie's Angels star Farrah as they were Hollywood's power couple throughout the Seventies.
Majors said that he was introduced to Fawcett by his publicist as they shared a coffee together: 'So that started that. It was very quick, and it lasted about almost 12 years.
'But there was a year or so when I think I saw her two weeks in one year. It's very difficult with careers like that. This business is tough. Working 14 hours a day, both of you, and the days went by.'
As he starred in The Six Million Dollar Man while she starred in Charlie's Angels, the two were at the height of their fame in the late Seventies which presented it's own set of difficulties.
Lee explained: 'It was hard to get around. It was not quite as hard as it is today with everyone has a cellphone and the social media is so quick. Back then we only had to deal with the paparazzi at large. A lot of time you could evade them, but not all the time.'
Major has retained his good looks
The two A-listers were married in 1973 before separating in 1979 ultimately divorcing in 1982.
Lee later married Faith Majors in 2002 whom he has been with for more than 23 years as he told People with a smile: 'It is a record in Hollywood.'
Sadly, Fawcett died in June 2009 at the age of 62 after a long battle with cancer.
At the time UsWeekly claimed Lee called Farrah before she died, breaking an over 20 year silence.
'He decided to call her for the first time on her birthday in February before she died,' said a source.
'They spoke for the first time in 23 years.
'They had a 40-minute phone conversation about her life, and the cancer and it was such a lovely moment for the two of them. I guess it was a very good conversation. They joked, and they got a little bit emotional.'
The source added: 'I think it was good given the current situation [for] closure, otherwise they never would've spoken again. I think he always wanted to talk to her again, but he was just afraid to speak to her before.'
Lee showed off his wife Faith in 2020 at the Open Hearts Foundation 10th Anniversary gala held at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles.
Jane Seymour hosted.

Figures uploaded to Companies House this week show the firm is £22,850 in the red for 2024 - following a £18,000 surplus last year. Annual accounts show the GB News host has creditors of almost £150,000 to pay. In addition, he also had a Corporation Tax rebate of £39,173 paid by HMRC. Eamonn has assets that make up some of the shortfall, which is why the firm is £20k+ in the red once that's taken into account. The Sun has approached Eamonn's rep for comment. The former This Morning host – who split from wife Ruth Langsford a year ago – continues to work despite a worsening health condition. The 65-year-old has been experiencing ongoing health issues, including chronic back pain - which he's attributed to slipped discs and a 2022 spinal surgery.

He's also struggled with shingles and has talked about experiencing difficulty seeing, even with his reading glasses.

The Scots-actor-turned-wrestler flashed a huge grin as he posed with Dyer, who looked effortlessly cool in shades and a navy overshirt.
