Italian actor Gabriele Ferzetti, best known for his roles in Once Upon A Time In The West<\/em> and the Bond film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service<\/em>, as passed away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Debuting on screen in 1942’s Street Of The Five Moons<\/em>, under director Luigi Chiarini, Mr Ferzetti subsequently took a break from film acting and turned to theater, until he returned to cinema in 1948’s version of Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>. Appearing in a prolific number of films, Mr Ferzetti’s 1950’s output includes Lo Zappatore<\/em> (1950), La Provinciale<\/em> in 1953 opposite glamorous Italian model Gina Lollobrigida, Donatella<\/em> (1956), and alongside Victor Mature in 1959’s Hannibal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The 1960’s were the most prolific of his career – appearances in\u00a0mainstream films such as Three Rooms In Manhattan<\/em> (1965, also known for an early uncredited Robert DeNiro appearance), Once Upon A Time In The West<\/em> (1968), for Sergio Leone, and John Huston’s religious epic, The Bible: In The Beginning<\/em>, in 1966, kept him in work throughout the industry. In 1969 he played the role to which he is most associated, that of Diana Rigg’s on-screen father, in the George Lazenby Bond film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service<\/em>. It was later revealed that Ferzetti’s voice was overdubbed in post production.<\/p>\n

Mr Ferzetti continued to work throughout the 70’s and 80’s, appearing in many European and Hollywood productions, including Kidnap<\/em> (1974), A Matter Of Time<\/em> (1976), Inchon<\/em> (1981), Julia and Julia<\/em> (1987), and Othello<\/em>, in 1995. His final credited cinematic role was in 2010’s 18 Years Later<\/em>.<\/p>\n
