November 25, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): 71-year-old Lee Majors, the eminent American actor, emerged on the much-admired chat program of Oprah Winfrey, titled ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’, on November 24th. CBS News has articulated that Majors, the superstar of the successful series, ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’ (TSMDM), was joined by the country music celebrity, Garth Brooks. This episode put a ceiling on this November, which has been laden with a series of high-status guests on Oprah’s show, counting the reunited cast of ‘The Sound Of Music’.

The presence of Majors, with a striking appearance, bequeathed an entertaining façade to Oprah’s program, which must have magnetized numberless eyeballs of his loyal admirers. The colossally commended Brooks was also there, which would have been a pleasing sight for his passionate aficionados. The audience also got to witness Majors going to the notable stylist, Carson Kressley, who is known for transforming the façade of his clients.

The present season of Oprah’s show will be the ultimate one, with the conclusion of the show scheduled in September 2011 after being on air for almost 25 years. Oprah, as per some media pundits, is the undisputed Empress of daytime television. She has asserted that she desires to initiate a fresh evening program titled ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’. She has also declared that she intends to launch her own network, ‘The Oprah Winfrey network’, at some point in 2011.

Majors had enacted the well-known character of an astronaut named Steve Austin in TSMDM, who submits himself to a bionic surgery to preserve his life subsequent to an aircraft mishap. The series was anchored in the novel, Cyborg, inscribed by Martin Caidin, and managed to become one of the most admired and triumphant programs of the 1970s. Majors subsequently came into view in the Game, The Community, and lately, Weeds.

Seven years back, Majors underwent health crises, which led to him undergoing single heart bypass surgery. He walked down the aisle with his current wife, Faith Majors, in November 2002, with Faith being an actress and model. His ex-wife, the equally famous Farrah Fawcett, deceased in 2009 subsequent to a tough fight against anal cancer. Majors responded by lauding her for her courageous battle against the frightening disease and also uttered that she was and will always be an angelic figure.
