The interview with Nastassja Kinski would generate some controversy. When came out on stage she featured a hairdo that is kind of hard to describe. While a generous use of hair gel her hair managed to "stand up" on her head rather the more common way of draping down around the shoulders. Letterman was quite taken by this and stared at it in disbelief. He finally asked her if there was an owl standing on top of her head. She politely laughed at the joke, but one could tell she didn't appreciate his comment. He subsequently asked her questions about her love life, and when she grudgingly said she had a boyfriend, he insisted she tell him who he was. She finally told him his name and that he was an architecture student in West Berlin. Afterwards, when she went back to her dressing room, she broke down in tears. Her agent subsequently demanded that Letterman apologize, which he did the next day.
