Klaus Kinski

Klaus Kinski (October 18, 1926–November 23, 1991) was regarded by some as one of the best German actors of the second half of the 20th century. Kinski was born Nikolaus Karl Günther Nakszynski to an ethnic Polish father, Bruno Nakszynski, a pharmacist, and a Danzig (Gdansk) pastor's daughter named Susanne Lutze, in Zoppot (now Sopot, Poland), which was then located within the territory of the Free City of Danzig. In 1930/31, the family moved to Berlin and Kinski attended the Prinz-Heinrich-Gymnasium in Schöneberg.
