LEE MAJORS – 83 YEARS OLD

Lee Majors played football for his collegiate team at Eastern Kentucky University while earning his degree in History and Physical Education. However, after he suffered a major back injury, he shifted his focus to acting, where he took part in the plays at the Pioneer Playhouse in Danville, Kentucky. After college, he moved to L.A. to pursue a career in acting and landed his first film project, a 1964 horror movie, Strait-Jacket, though his role was uncredited. Since then, he was followed by success and offered another film project, a role in the western-inspired film, The Big Valley. It was followed by another significant role in the sci-fi action series, The Six Million Dollar Man. Nowadays, even in his 80s, we still see him appear on TV shows and films, even if not having a primary role.
