A daughter of the late Klaus Kinski, the German actor with the haunted face who starred in films like "Fitzcarraldo," has accused him of raping her as a child, over a period of 14 years, in her new book.
"I kept quiet for years because he forbade me from talking about it," Pola Kinski, who is 60, told Stern magazine in an interview published yesterday.
"The terrible thing is that he once told me that it was completely natural, that fathers all over the world did that with their daughters," she said.
Klaus Kinski, who died in 1991 in California aged 65, was best known for playing manic, obsessive figures for the German director Werner Herzog in films like "Aguirre: the Wrath of God," "Nosferatu the Vampyre" and "Fitzcarraldo" in 1982.
He also appeared in David Lean's "Doctor Zhivago" in 1965 and spaghetti westerns such as "For a Few Dollars More" with Clint Eastwood in 1965.
The actor had a history of mental problems including attempted suicide.
Pola Kinski's autobiography "Kindermund" (From the Mouths of Children) speaks of him subjecting her to violent rape and abuse and then showering her with expensive presents.
"He was paying for me to be his little sex object, placed on silk cushions," she told Stern.
The actor had two other children with his second and third wives - film star Nastassja Kinski and a son, Nikolai. All three children became actors.
