During the 80s, Kinski acted in 14 films of different genres such as ‘Cat People’, ‘Maria’s Lovers’, ‘Unfaithfully Yours’ and ‘Torrents of Spring’.  After the end of the that decade, she continued with her career and to date has starred in 38 films, 3 made-for TV movies and voiced an animated movie character.

Nastassja won 10 awards out of 18 nominations, including a Golden Globe, 2 Bravo Otto, a Jupiter and a Nastro D’Argento.  She was also honoured with 2 Career Achievement Awards in 2005 and 2018.
