Nastassia Kinski in "Cat People" (1982) Cat People (1982) is a Paul Schrader remake of a 1942 film about people who are half leopard and half human. It seems that people used to sacrifice their daughters to the leopard gods, and a mixed race evolved. Nastassia Kinski has been raised by foster families, and arrives in New Orleans to live with her brother, Malcolm McDowell. She is unaware that she is a leopard woman, because the symptoms don't become obvious until you lose your virginity. Her brother knows, and he also knows that they can only mate with their own kind. Otherwise, they have to kill after sex, or be trapped in the leopard form.
Shortly after she arrives, her brother mauls a hooker, and is captured by the curator of the local zoo, and his assistant. Kinski falls for the curator, and wants nothing to do with an incestuous relationship with her brother. Eventually, brother is done in by the powers that be, and Kinski loses her virginity to the curator, who keeps her in cat form forever.
