Actor and film producer Mark Damon is dead. This was reported on Monday by the US magazine "The Hollywood Reporter", citing Damon's daughter, and the industry publication "Variety", referring to Damon's widow. He died of natural causes on Sunday in Los Angeles at the age of 91.

The actor appeared in several Italian westerns in the 1960s, including "Ringo with the Golden Guns" (1966), "Death Counts No Dollars" (1967) and "To the Gallows, Bastardo" (1968).

Produced "9 1/2 Weeks"
According to several reports, Damon was also originally shortlisted for the iconic role of the western hero "Django", but Sergio Corbucci ultimately cast Franco Nero.
