I would love to get hold of a copy of Kinski's autobiography. From what I understand it is a rather lively read! I can also recommend Evil Spirits: The Life of Oliver Reed.
From what I gather Oliver Reed once worked on a film with Klaus Kinski and the latter was, as often seemed to be the case, causing mayhem. An actress, whose name I can't recall, asked Reed why he didn't confront Kinski; with Reed being known to be a rather forthright and powerful individual. Reed explained that since he believed Kinski to be crazy, he really didn't want to get involved.
