Lee Majors: I Couldn't Watch the Farrah Special

Farrah Fawcett's first and only husband, Lee Majors, was not among the nearly nine million people who tuned in to see the TV special about her cancer battle.

Yesterday at LAX, the former "Six Million Dollar Man" said the "whole thing was a little bit over done."

On a totally separate note ... Majors just celebrated his 70th birthday. We salute you, Col. Austin.

3. WOW what a hearless jerk. I hope he gets cancer so that we can all judge how he handles it.

4. Actually, as sad as it is about Farrah, you cant blame Lee Majors for being bitter. It was Ryan Oneil who was his best friend when Lee and Farrah were married. She cheated with Ryan Oneil. Of corse he doesnt care, why should he?

5. He's right. It's a shame that she's sick, but lots of people suffer terrible illnesses. His relationship with Farrah ended long ago when she cheated on him, so it would be sort of weird if he was still pining over her.

6. When Farrah was married to Majors, she had a special clause in her contract, sttipulating that she had to be out of the studio early in order to get super on the table for her husband. Hopefully Ryan was an improvement, because getting the supper on the table is the hired help's job - in Hollywood at least.

7. Lee Mayors is a heartless person. No wonder why Farrah dumped him for Ryan.

9. I don't think he's heartless at all. If you read Tatum's autobiography, and even John McEnroe's, you'll see that Farrah has always been about Farrah. And Ryan abandoned his teenage children to always be with Farrah. Yes, and she cheated on Lee with his best friend. Did she apologize for any of the pain she inflicted on Lee on Ryan's other kids? I don't think so. So, as sad as it is that she's dying, there are a lot of amazing selfless people who are suffering constantly who would never beg for attention. Lee's right, it's a bit overdone. I want to see her say "I'm sorry."

11. They(Lee & Farrah), had a very explosive relationship, to say the least. I don't think he means to sound cold, and is aiming his comment more at Ryan, than Farrah. Her relationship with Ryan wasn't all that great either. A lot fo physical/mental abuse by her and him, plus all the drinking and drugs. Never wonder why the kids are all messed up. It's a very sad situation.

12. He's still bitter Ryan stole her from him.

13. I also agree with Lee Majors that I think her special was unecessary. I also have had cancer and gone through more chemo radiation and surgery than most people could imagine. I understand where she is coming from. But I feel her whole special was just a big statement of "feel sorry for me everybody". Both she and Ryan O'Neal act like they are the only people to have ever experienced the fear and pain of cancer. Bad things happen to alot of people and the beauty of life is learning how to deal with it as gracefully as possible.

14. I thought that special was odd, myself. I had no desire to watch it.

On a side note...no one can screw up their children quite like Ryan O'neal can.

15. Rhonda is absolutely correct! Well said, but when it is a star there is always a lot more visability than us regular folks. Cancer can strike anyone at any age. I am not sure what Farahs utlitmate goal is, if it is awareness, or a feel sorry for me type attitude. It was actually Katie Couric who brought this type of cancer to an awareness when her husband died from it.l

As for Lee Majors, it is unclear to me what he meant by his comments. He might still be bitter. He would have looked like a bigger person had he had something else like he wished her the best.
