He had three children, Nastassja Kinski, Nikolai Kinski and Pola Kinski.
Kinski's acting career spanned over four decades, and he appeared in more than 130 films. He collaborated with several prominent directors like Werner Herzog, with whom he made five films including "Aguirre, the Wrath of God", "Nosferatu the Vampyre" and "Fitzcarraldo". Kinski's intense and often volatile on-screen performances earned him critical acclaim, and his work with Herzog is considered among the most memorable collaborations in German cinema.
Beyond acting, Kinski was also an accomplished author and wrote several books, including his autobiography "Kinski Uncut". In addition to his acting and writing, Kinski was also an accomplished musician, having composed over 40 pieces of classical music.
Kinski's personal life was marred by controversy, and he had a reputation for erratic and often violent behavior both on set and off.

Despite his personal controversies, Kinski's contributions to German cinema are widely recognized, and he remains a celebrated figure in the world of film.
