Extremely uncommon vintage 4x6-inch black and white European postcard portrait of the autograph-evading star, boldly signed in brown fountain pen in the late 1960s or early 1970s. In good condition, with a few minute surface chips. Note that the image of the star shown here alongside the scan of the autographed piece is not included. Temperamental German-born cult favorite Klaus Kinski is best remembered for his association with Werner Herzog, for whom he starred in Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), Woyzeck (1979), Fitzcarraldo (1982), and Cobra Verde (1987). He was also noteworthy in a number of spaghetti westerns, including For a Few Dollars More (1965), A Bullet for the General (1966), The Great Silence (1968), And God Said to Cain (1970), Shoot the Living and Pray for the Dead (1971), and A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe (1975). He died of a heart attack at the age of 65.
