    Thanks for the video. I knew Lee from a call when I was an EMT just prior to Fire and Paramedic training in the Los Angeles area. You get a call on Thanksgiving Day to respond to a fire in a beautiful subdivision. You are greeted by Lee at the front door who escorts you to the kitchen where Farrah has a turkey in the oven that caught on fire. What a smile she had. This was around 1980. My sister was always confused with looking like his wife. Southern California was a beautiful place to live back then. I got my degree in prelaw in 1980 and became an EMT as I enrolled into Law School.

    Another Masterpiece Jerry thank you.
    I remember growing up as a young child in the sixties watching The Big Valley it was Lee Majors who always stood out to me. There was something about him that I felt was special. Having a tough childhood and finally finding out that he lost both parents I believe in my opinion, helped shape what kind of person he was. I remember seeing him in the ballad of Andy Crocker which I enjoyed. Still a fan.

    Jerry Skinner in my humble opinion you have the perfect voice and cadence for these videos. Your research and storytelling abilities make very entertaining documentaries and you seem to pick just the right stars from yester-year to talk about. Lee Majors was probably my first television hero in "The Six Million Dollar Man." , when I was very young. I hope you continue to make these very entertaining videos. God bless and God Speed.

    I was not aware of Lee Majors early life years . Despite all he went through , Lee became a great man . I remember my mother watch The Big Valley on TV back in the 60's and Lee as a young actor. But but as a kid, my memories of Lee Majors are from The Six Million Dollar Man TV program every Friday nights on ABC . Then in the 80's The Fall Guy .

    You knew his was destined to be a great star during the Big Valley. He had the least experience, yet he seemed to outshine the other seasoned actors, imo. He was able to reveal an internal complexity in a subdued manner, which gave him a quiet intensity. His rare scenes when he explodes in anger are at once powerful and riveting. I really only watch the episodes that focus on him.

    My father in law met Lee Majors in a bar once, and offered to buy him a drink. Talked a while and felt he might be wearing out his welcome to a nice guy, so said he should go. Lee said wait you bought me a drink so let me buy you one. My FIL was a top notch mans man and very likable and witty. Not surprised they liked each others company having a couple of drinks.
    Jerry Skinner is the best!
