 Klaus Kinski | Biography (1926-1991)
And in many of them Kinski had small roles, single scenes, a few days of work in the headlong scramble of his life, which also included a good deal of theatre - often one-man shows, as if no one could work with him, or he refused to share.
Kinski loved to play madmen on screen; they fulfilled a dream he had of himself.
Film Dope chuckled to itself about the contrary perceptions of Kinski: "Either he is among the cinemas great tragic actors or among its great inadvertently comic ones." It was clear they leaned toward the latter view, and they gently chided me for some rather breathless things I had said about Kinski.

Kinski and Herzog were a symbiotic relationship in film, the latter being the only director to take Kinski's haunted nature and harness it for use in the name of cinematic excellence.
Kinski is writing not for exclusively political reasons to try and keep the record 'straight' on who he was, but he comes across on many pages as a kind and tormented soul desperately trying to put many of the ghosts in his past to rest.
Kinski's rather wilful mishearing is indicative of his stance throughout the book.His autobiography offers an uninhibited portrayal of self-centredness and excess.In almost every paragraph, another woman is "conquered" (in unstinting biological detail), another fast car is discarded because its owner has tired of the colour.

Klaus Kinski was indeed a strange bird and his antics became stuff of legend (Interestingly he was forced into the German Army and was a British POW during World War Two).
Kinski lodged in Herzog's building when Herzog was a child (what a coincidence!) where he would pulverize the bathroom into a fine powder, run through doors and tear at his clothes when they weren't ironed properly.
Klaus Kinski would sweat and contort his way through a number of classic Herzog films including his stunning turn as the monster in Nosferatu, the Vampyre - and his obsessive but surprisingly likable turn as an opera lover who drags a ship across the amazon in Fitzcarraldo.

Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski, for all their differences, had an amazing working relationship and an often-volatile personal friendship that went back to the time Herzog was 13 years old.

 Kinski Uncut - Klaus Kinski - Review - Uncut and X rated
So Kinski Uncut is full of X-rated, more-information-than-was-needed records of his exhaustive sexual encounters (he seems to have worked his way through Berlin’s entire prostitute population.) In between, there’s accounts of his unsurprisingly difficult relationship with his wives and children, including the actress Natassja.
From Kinski Uncut you’d hardly know that Klaus was making movies during all this time, including his much-acclaimed performances in Fitzcarraldo and Aguire, Wrath of God.
Kinski Uncut is a certainly a one-off, and in a way you’ve got to commend him for his honesty and lack of censure.

 Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise: Klaus Kinski
In this obscure pantheon, a place must be reserved for Klaus Kinski, the erratically gifted Polish-German actor and noted mal vivant, who tried to publish the English version of his autobiography in 1988 under the massively ironic title All I Need is Love.
Idioms are sometimes not quite on the mark--for example, references to Kinski's pals sleeping with "minor boys" and "minor girls." The translation that Kinski made himself in 1988--I found one remaining copy in the New York Public Library--was more arch, cold, stylish.
And as always with Kinski, there's a taunting taste of comedy; the tears on his cheeks are from laughter.

So manic, hallucinatory and self-obsessed is Kinski's account of his rise from a dire childhood in the slums of Berlin to international stardom that it yields a far clearer picture of his seething inner life and incorrigible womanizing than of his film career.
In an angry, raving, sometimes barely coherent present-tense narrative, Kinski describes being drafted into the Nazi army at 16; suffering in an English POW camp; gaining prominence in the fringe theater of a war-ravaged Germany.

 » DVD Review: Werner Herzog’s Klaus Kinski: My Best Fiend - Alternative Film Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Among Herzog’s embellishments of Kinski’s persona is his description of a story about an Indian who, after being bitten by a snake while filming Aguirre chainsawed off his foot to prevent death by poison.
This supposed attempt to deflect attention from Kinski and his "genius" reputedly caused the actor to rage against the snake-bitten man. Again, pure bunkum, for the loss of blood from a sawn-off foot would more quickly kill a man than any snakebite.
Kinski, at the age of sixty-five, died in Marin County, Calif., in 1991, just four years after his last collaboration with Herzog on Cobra Verde.
