Picture Trivia

          American-based German actress Nastassja Kinski (full name Nastassja Aglaia Tocki Naskzynski) can be remembered for her portrayals in the films The Wrong Move (1975), where as 13-year-old she was depicted topless, Tess (1979), Exposed (1983), and in two erotic films, Stay As You Are (1978) and Cat People (1982). She won the Golden Globe Award for her lead role in the film Tess.
          Do you know that Kinski had a romantic relationship with director-producer Roman Polanski, her would-be director in Tess, who is 28 years her senior? This was in 1976. It was in the pages of different newspapers and magazines because Kinski was only 15 years old at the time, and Polanski was 43.
