Sweaty Vintage #1 (Lee Majors)

Our first vintage man is none other than the carpet chested "Six Million Dollar Man" himself...Lee Majors! Lee Majors fueled MANY of my adolescent fantasies, including mine. He played Steve Austin, a former astronaut with bionic implants, working for the OSI (which was usually referred to as the Office of Scientific Intelligence). In a nutshell, he played a modern-day Frankenstein; a man who had been “rebuilt” using computers and high technology which made him a super-human.
Unfortunately, we never found out if “that” was bionic as well. 

Even the show’s opening credits were sexy, with Majors as Austin running toward the camera in slow-motion, his nylon track suit unzipped halfway down his torso.

After The $6Million Dollar Man wrapped, Majors later starred in a series called “The Fall Guy”, playing Colt Seavers, a Hollywood Stunt Man who moonlights as a bounty hunter. The Fall Guy was entertaining, and Majors was still hunkier than most of what was on television at the time. But, for me, he’ll always be Steve Austin, the man with the $6Million Chest.


As always, I am going to include my "fantasy" photo...I am sure you will like it too.
