As you might remember, Richard played the role of Oscar Goldman, the boss of a U.S. astronaut who was injured so severely in a crash that the government decided to rebuild his body with artificial limbs.

The show started as a TV movie in 1973 but when the producers saw that it was a hit, they decided to make a weekly TV series. Three years later, in 1976, the spin-off show "The Bionic Woman" was created.

The cyborg's name was Steve Austin, a character that was played by Lee Majors in "The Six Million Dollar Man." After Richard's death, Lee

about him in an interview with Fox:

"Richard became a dear and loyal friend, and I have never met a man like him. I called him 'Old Money.' His always stylish attire, his class, calmness and knowledge never faltered in his 91 years."

Majors said that Anderson had talked to his friends a couple of weeks ago and he was still the same charming man he had always been.
