In 1968, she met actor Lee
Majors, star of the popular TV series "The Big Valley" (1965), who became very taken with
her and also used his own standing to promote her career. In 1970, she won her first
major role in the film adaptation of the Gore Vidal novel Myra Breckinridge (1970). The
shooting was very unpleasant, with much feuding on the set, and Farrah was embarrassed
by the finished film, which was a major failure.
