Lee Majors | Park Recreation Director

Born Harvey Lee Yeary on April 23, 1939 in Wyandotte, Michigan, Lee Majors is an American film, television and voice actor who conquered the TV screens from the 1960s to the 1980s. But before he made us fall in love with his characters as Heath Barkley on The Big Valley and Colonel Steve Austin on The Six Million Dollar Man, and more, he used to be a company director. After getting his degree in History and Physical Education, he moved to Los Angeles and started working there.

He used to be the Recreation Director for North Hollywood Park at the Los Angeles Park and Recreation Department. There, he met a lot of actors and industry professionals, including Dick Clayton, who was James Dean’s agent. Dick suggested Lee should try acting school and after a year, he believed he’s ready to venture into the world of Hollywood.
