Nastassja Kinski

Polly Mellen talks about the Nasty Kinski / Richard Avedon photo shoot, and how she regrets having her wear the white bracelet.

I always wondered, was the bracelet ivory?

Reflecting warmly on her father Klaus Kinski: "I would do anything to put him behind bars for life. I am glad he is no longer alive."

Klaus and Nastassja

Remember when she was supposed to be a big deal movie star? Well, she certainly was strikingly beautiful. But talent? She didn't have any. She lucked into a movie career by fucking Roman Polanski when she was 15 years old (he was in his forties). I wonder what her childhood was like? I vaguely remember her saying she was abused by her daddy, the totally crazy Klaus Kinski. It's amazing that he produced such beautiful children. He looked like a monster.

Klaus Kinski's autobiography is the most deranged book I have ever read. I don't know why it isn't a cult classic here on the DataLounge because it is THAT batshit insane.

Kinski and Nureyev--I despise James Toback but this is a hot scene and very unique--seduction with a violin bow. Um, sure!

I read Klaus Kinski's memoir "All I Need Is Love." It's pornographic, and a fun read. But it's obvious he's totally insane.

One From the Heart...

I think she's a good actress. She's extremely watchable and she has great presence onscreen. She was perfectly cast in Tess, Paris, Texas and Cat People, her three best films and performances. She was also good in her attempted-comeback films The Claim and An American Rhapsody.
