Nastassja Kinski

[John Hamilton]

Watched an amazingly crap horror film last night called The Day the World Ended which had one saving feature- the presence of the incandescent Nastassja Kinski.



I seem to remember a time at the beginging of the 1980s when she was just about the biggest, most recognisable female actress in cinema- which seems odd because apart from Tess I can't think of a single hit she had. Maybe thats why her fall from lofty heights was equally spectacular

You have a friend for life now John.....

Tess was probably her biggest success although she also received deserved praise for her role in Wim Wenders great film "Paris Texas"....

Enough of this chatter......we need a pic...





Things have been a bit quiet in the last few years....but there are some dedicated souls who want to keep her name alive....

Cheers

PS....Its actually NASTASSJA...but we wont quibble over the odd "S".



Here's one of my fave from Tess....

Refreshes the parts other movies cannot reach.

I had completely forgotten about Paris Texas, I must dig that out again. You HAVE to check out Cat People- highly charged erotic horror movie; I remember Nastassja complaining at the time of release that Schrader had betrayed her trust by allowing so much nudity. No idea if that was true or just a publicity stunt but it packed out the cinema I was in!!



In fairness to Kinski she was very good in 'The Day the World Ended', I guess in her late 30s or early 40s playing a child psychologist- she could easily have been cut in from a different much better movie

No one's mentioned One from the Heart, a film (and soundtrack) I enjoy.

I haven't see that since it first came out but am I right in thinking she has a supporting role and Teri Garr is the female lead?

Justhad a look: Maria's Lovers, Hotel New Hampshire, I'd forgotten them all- great site!



Have you seen Passion Flower Hotel? To quote wikipedia: 'a comedy film featuring the erotic ventures of schoolgirls residing at a private boarding school. It was directed by André Farwagi, based on the novel by Laura Black. It stars a frequently unclothed Nastassja Kinski as one of the schoolgirls, in her third feature film.'



I had no idea it was supposed to be a comedy!!

Remember seeing Passion Flower Hotel many years ago when it was shown on late night TV.....

I didn't think it was a comedy either......

Will get round to buying it one day......
