Some resemblance of Nastassja Kinski to Ingrid Bergman


Did anybody else apart from me think that in some shots, specially from profile, Nastassja Kinski bore a more than remarkable resemblance to Ingrid Bergamn in Casablanca? Their hairstyle were very similar, but it´s more than just that, their general look, ...

Now that you mention it...

That's exactly what I thought as I was watching it. She could be her daughter.

you mixed up the headlines. the first 3 are pictures of ingrid and the last 2 pictures of nastassja.
i was happy because in this movie she doesn't resemble her father klaus kinski. in other movies i feel too reminded of him and this does make nastassja a lot less attractive.

reply

It's intentional. It's to put emphasis on how alike they are! It's done a lot in the newspapers as a joke (probably only in the UK). I did the same thing in the Emily Blunt board:

oh, i didn't get that although it did work on me. when i clicked on the first picture i thought "wow, nastassja looks exactly like ingrid"! nice technique, i've never seen that before though.

I always thought so. Look at this photo from Tess. One could mistake her with Ingrid Bergman:

I had a discussion with a friend about this resemblance. Both of us agreed that they both look alike, but one difference between the two is that Ingrid Bergman is a dame but that Nastassja Kinski is a heartbreaker.

Nastassja Kinski's message board has a entire thread about this resemblance:

Yes I thought she looked a lot like a young Bergman, and especially looked like Bergman's daughter Rossilini -forget her first name.

reply

Isabella Rossilini.

And Nastassja does resemble her father Klaus, but fortunately, he married beautiful women, so his kids have that on their side.

reply

i thought it was just me. i sat for 3 hours saying that.

Well Martin Scorsese couldn't look at Natassja Kinski in any of her films in the 80s because she looked a lot like his ex-wife Isabella Rossellini, who is of course Ingrid Bergman's daughter.

Yes, she has a resemblance to Ingrid Bergman, but I think she looks more likely Isabella Rossellini.

BTOP, I agree. I'd recently seen Gaslight, when ads for Tess came out, & I remember thinking that Kinski looked like Bergman.

yes Ingrid Bergman in Gaslight

but not Isabella at all no way

reply

Indeed! Nastassja Kinski in Tess looks like Ingrid Bergman. I've also found resemblances with Irène Jacob and the aforementioned, Isabella Rossellini.

All of them beautiful women. Luckyly Nastassja didn't inherit the looks of his father, Klaus!

She reminded me both of Ingrid and her daughter Isabella.
