Lee Majors was the son of Carl and Alice Yeary. Tragically, both of his parents passed away in separate incidents. Nevertheless, he was left without any caretakers by the age of two. His paternal aunt and uncle adopted the toddler and raised him with their family out in Kentucky. He didn't know about his status until he was a teenager. "I made up my mind right then that my stepparents would never regret having adopted me," he said.
