Actress Nastassja Kinski has accused her father, late German
film icon Klaus, of attempting to abuse her, following allegations by
her half-sister Pola that he raped her throughout her childhood.Nastassja Kinski age 51, who achieved Hollywood fame with films such as Cat People and Tess, told the Bild am Sonntag weekly that her father did not actually rape her but that "he tried to."
"He always touched me far too much, held me so tightly against him that I thought I could not escape. At the time I was four or five years old and we were living in Munich," Kinski recounted.
"Instinctively I recognised that this could not be the loving embrace of a father but that it was more than that," she added.
The accusations against Klaus Kinski, a volatile film star who died in 1991, came after Pola Kinski's allegations that he began abusing her at the age of five and raped her for the first time when she was nine.
