'From Cowboy to Mogul to Monster': Actor and Producer Mark Damon Recounts His Remarkable Hollywood Life in Autobiography

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Hollywood maverick Mark Damon has made all the right moves. Starting from his days as a teen heartthrob in the Fifties and the king of Spaghetti Westerns in the Sixties, he went on to become an award-winning filmmaker who continues to produce critically acclaimed, successful motion pictures to this day. In his new autobiography, "From Cowboy to Mogul to Monster" (published by AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com/), Damon dishes on his secrets to success, encouraging readers to follow their dreams.

Damon is the man behind some of the most original and award-winning movies of our time: Das Boot, The NeverEnding Story, 9 1/2 Weeks, Short Circuit, The Lost Boys, Monster, The Upside of Anger and more. Through the decades this Hollywood honcho has more than rubbed shoulders with Tinseltown's most famous, having worked closely with Natalie Wood, Tuesday Weld, Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery, Robert DeNiro, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke, Kevin Costner and Charlize Theron among others.

Damon reveals the details of his charmed life for the first time. He broke into Hollywood as a smoldering sex symbol in the 1950s, took up the mantle of Italian playboy in Rome during his time as a Spaghetti Western cowboy in the 1960s and '70s, and returned to Hollywood in the 1980s, leading the trend of independent film financing.

Filled with juicy behind-the-scene anecdotes from the many and varied films he's worked on, "From Cowboy to Mogul to Monster" pulls no punches while offering insights into how to succeed in one of the world's most cutthroat industries.

Co-author Linda Schreyer is a writer, composer, editor and writing coach. She has co-written/produced television movies and screenplays. She is currently writing a musical titled "The Goldsmith's Daughter," a memoir of her family in pre-war Vienna.
