Lee Majors became a true Hollywood icon in the 1970s, thanks to his unforgettable portrayal of Steve Austin in the iconic television show The Six Million Dollar Man. 

Renowned for his rugged charm and charismatic presence, the actor quickly became a regular fixture on television screens, starring as Hollywood stuntman Colt Seavers in the hit 1980s action series The Fall Guy, alongside a string of feature films.

More than five decades after captivating audiences as Colonel Steve Austin in The Six Million Dollar Man, Lee's classic Hollywood good looks remain intact. 

Fans couldn't help but comment on Lee's appearance in a post marking his 86th birthday last year. 

"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," Lee joked affectionately. "Grateful for life, love, and all the blessings. Here's to living well, staying sharp, and aging like the legends do."

The comments section was quickly inundated with heartfelt messages of admiration and congratulations. One fan wrote: "HBD to one of the all time greats!" while another added: "Still handsome at 86 Lee."

Lee has been married four times. 

He tied the knot with his first wife, Kathy Robinson, in 1961. The couple welcomed a son, Lee Majors Jr., the following year, and divorced in 1964. His second marriage was to Charlie's Angels star Farrah Fawcett from 1973 to 1982. 

In 1988, Lee married model Karen Velez. The couple welcomed daughter Nikki Majors, and twin sons Dane and Trey Majors, during their relationship, which ended in 1994. 

In 2002, Lee married model and actress Faith Noelle Cross, who now goes by Faith Majors. 

In recent years, Lee has scaled back his acting work, focusing mostly on guest appearances and special cameos.

Notably, in 2024, he made a surprise cameo in the 2024 action film The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Reunited with his original co-star Heather Thomas, Lee played a police officer in a nostalgic nod to the classic 1980s series. 

At the height of their fame, Lee and Farrah were Hollywood's golden duo and often the focus of intense public interest. 

In 2019, Lee opened up candidly to People magazine about his relationship with Farrah, recalling the day they first met. It was his publicist who introduced the two stars during a casual coffee. "So that started that," Lee recalled simply, reflecting fondly on how quickly their romance blossomed. "It was very quick, and it lasted about almost 12 years."

Yet fame came with its challenges. Both Lee and Farrah starred on hit shows simultaneously, Lee on The Six Million Dollar Man and Farrah on Charlie’s Angels, making their demanding schedules nearly impossible to balance. 

"There was a year or so when I think I saw her two weeks in one year," Lee admitted frankly.

"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."

Speaking about the realities of their lives at that time, Lee explained the intense pressure of maintaining a private relationship amid overwhelming public scrutiny.

"'It was hard to get around,'"he shared honestly. "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."

Despite their efforts, the strain took its toll. Lee and Farrah eventually separated in 1979, and their divorce was finalised in 1982. Yet even after they went their separate ways, Lee always spoke fondly of their time together.

Tragically, Farrah passed away in June 2009 at the age of 62 following a courageous battle with cancer. 

According to reports from UsWeekly at the time, Lee broke a silence of more than two decades to call Farrah shortly before she passed, demonstrating the deep affection that still existed between them after so many years apart.
