Six Million Dollar Man Lee Majors who was married to a Charlie's Angels star turns 86... see him now

Daily Mail​27-04-2025
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.'
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.

Lily Allen says she 'can't remember' how many abortions she has had in shock confession

The singer revealed on her podcast that she 'used to get pregnant all the time' before having her two daughters Lily Allen has confessed she can not recall how many abortions she has had in a new podcast interview with her best mate Miquita Oliver as the pair discussed birth control. The 40-year-old singer made the shock admission on their Miss Me? podcast as Lily explained her reproductive system was a 'complete disaster area' and said she would fall pregnant "all the time." The star, who is now a mum-of-two, admitted: "Yeah, I'd get pregnant all the time, all the time," before Miquita, 41, revealed she was not aware her pal had previously terminated a pregnancy. Lily then began to sing her own rendition of Frank Sinatra's My Way, changing the lyrics to: "Abortions I've had a few... but then again... I can't remember exactly how many." ‌ She then chuckled as she attempted to estimate a number, saying: "I can't remember. I think maybe like, I want to say four or five." After Lily's unexpected confession, it prompted Miquita to share her own journey as she said: "I've had about five too!" ‌ She continued: "Lily, I've never. I'm so happy I can say that, and you can say it, and no one came to shoot us down, no judgment. We've had about the same amount of abortions." Lily continued to say she had an ex who once paid for her to have an abortion, adding that she thought it was "so romantic" at the time, the Mirror reports. Miquita responded: "I actually think that is romantic! Do you not think that's romantic?," leading Lily to reply "Am I an idiot? What? Getting rid of the problem?' "No but if you're both like 'let's not do this. I don't want it no neither do I, I don't have any money well I can sort that out...'" ‌ Speaking of her own experience, Miquita admitted she felt "very excited" after her first abortion. She said: "I felt like I was a woman." Later in the conversation, Lily expressed her anger about feeling like she had to justify terminating a pregnancy. ‌ She said: "It actually irritates me, and I've said it before on the record. "I've seen memes going around sometimes, on Instagram from pro-abortion accounts or whatever, whenever this conversation comes up, and suddenly you start seeing people posting things about extraordinary reasons for having an abortion. Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here an 'Like: "My aunt had a kid that had this disability," or whatever, "if she went full term it was going to kill her, so we have to." It's like, shut up! Just: "I don't want a f***ing baby right now." Literally: "Don't want a baby" is enough reason." Lily is now a mum to two daughters, Ethel, 13 and Marine, 12, who she shares with her ex-husband Sam Cooper. The singer also recently split from her second husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, earlier this year after four years of marriage.

Lidl to release Oasis-inspired parka jacket for limited time

The supermarket will be releasing the 'Lidl by Lidl' jacket, which is similar in style to the parka made famous by Liam Gallagher. It features two built-in drink cooling pockets to stop roadies getting warm, and the zipper doubles as a bottle opener too.

This isn't just a jacket… it's a backstage pass to the ultimate party." A post shared by Lidl GB (@lidlgb) The jacket will be available to purchase on the Lidl website here from 10am on Wednesday, July 9. It will cost £30 and the supermarket will be donating all proceeds from the jacket launch to its charity partner, the NSPCC. The jacket was announced on Tuesday, July 2, with a 30-foot mural in the Gallaghers' hometown just outside Manchester City's Etihad Stadium. Joanna Gomer, Marketing Director at Lidl GB, said: 'In celebration of one of the biggest reunion tours for music & culture, we wanted to give consumers 'everything they ever dreamed of' and create something iconic. The announcement of the new jacket was unveiled in a mural in Manchester (Image: Lidl) "With Oasis's 'Definitely Maybe' album and Lidl GB both marking 30 years, this jacket taps into the love the nation has not only for Lidl fashion, but also our brand and the band."
