German actress Nastassja Kinski requested that a 1977 television film containing scenes in which she appears naked and who were captured when he was a minor under 15 years of age that he could not legally consent to its recording.
As the actress’s lawyer explained to the weekly Der Spiegel on Tuesday, Nastassja Kinski wants the public broadcaster NDR, which holds the rights Reifezeugnis (something like “Leaving Certificate”), delete such scenes, or stop playing the tape.
The show has become one of the most successful episodes of all time from the police series Tator (“At the Scene of the Crime”), partly because of the scenes with Kinski, who, as he claims on his NDR website, have become a “legend” and a “sexual initiation for many adolescents.”

The actress who would become famous with films like Thess (1979) or Paris, Texas (1984), stars on screen a 17-year-old student who embarks on a relationship with her teacher and then fakes rape after killing a classmate who wanted to abuse her under blackmail.

It would currently be unthinkable for a public channel to record scenes featuring naked minors, he said, referring to the television film, which was last filmed in January this year.
The lawyer also regretted the fact that “after numerous #MeToo scandals in cinema and television” the nudes of minors continue to be described as “the moment of sexual awakening for many men”.
The television network, for its part, did not evaluate the situation, but promised to respond to the actress within the established deadlines.
