At FanX, ‘Bionic’ stars Lindsay Wagner and Lee Majors recall their TV glory, and lots of running

“It’s because of you all that ‘The Bionic Woman’ came about. It was literally by public demand,” the star of the ‘70s action series told a crowd Friday at FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention.

Wagner — alongside the star of “The Six Million Dollar Man,” Lee Majors — appeared together on the stage of the Salt Palace’s Grand Ballroom, to take questions about their days playing the fastest and strongest people on television.

Majors, now 80, learned early that playing astronaut Steve Austin — who survives a crash and has his legs, right arm and eye replaced by superhuman mechanical parts — would require a lot of running, usually shown in slow motion.
