Elegant, urbane and well-spoken, Gabriele Ferzetti was one of Italy's most prominent international stars of the 1950's and 60's. His passion for the stage had begun with performing in university plays. This paved the way to a scholarship at the Rome Academy of Dramatic Art . During his final years, he restricted his appearances predominantly to the small screen.
Although he played Diana Rigg s father in On Her Majestys Secret Service , he is only 13 years her senior.
