According to his autobiography, Klaus Kinski had a sexual affair with Ursula Herking during filming: "I move into the Hotel Prem, where Ugly Ursula is living, too. Ugly Ursula is an actress and cabaret artist. She is so ugly that I only fuck her in the dark, if I don't feel like putting a towel over her face. But her body is so young and hot and horny, that I think God created her like this intentionally to punish all those who make a mad dash for a pretty face."- Kinski wrote.
