Hallmark Channel Presents a Reunion of Bionic Proportions

It will be a reunion of bionic proportions Saturday night when Hallmark Channel reunites the Bionic Woman, Lindsay Wagner, and the Six Million Dollar Man, Lee Majors, for the first time in 23 years with the premiere of the original movie Eat, Play, Love.  For Wagner, who spent three years (1975-78) playing cyborg Jaime Sommers, first as a guest star on Majors’ The Six Million Dollar Man (1974-78) and then on her own spin-off The Bionic Woman (1976-78) it was a role she couldn’t resist.  The casting, she told me, was cleverly choreographed.  “Lee and I share the same agent,” she explained.  “They approached us both at the same time, so it was a plan.  It was like, ‘Can we get these two together?’  It wasn’t an accident.  I laughed [when I heard].  Finally someone was putting us together!  It’s kind of a no-brainer for marketing and we were both kind of surprised it hadn’t happened before this.”
