She was 18 when it was released. I'm not sure when it was filmed...she would likely have been 17.
According to Wiki she met Polanski when she was 15.
Kinski met the director Roman Polanski at a party in 1976.[15] He urged her to study method acting with Lee Strasberg in the United States and she was offered the title role in Polanski's upcoming film, Tess (1979). In 1978, Kinski underwent extensive preparation for the portrayal of an English peasant girl, which included acquiring a Dorset accent through elocution studies.
Her wiki also has the following;
In 1976, when Kinski was aged 15, it was speculated that there had been a romantic relationship with director Roman Polanski, who at the time was 43.[22][23][24][25]
Polanski confirmed the relationship in a 1994 interview with Diane Sawyer: "...what about Nastassja Kinski? She was young and we had a love affair."[26]
However, in a 1999 interview in The Guardian, Kinski was quoted as saying that there was no affair and that, "There was a flirtation. There could have been a seduction, but there was not. He had respect for me."[7]

So Polanski says they had an affair and she says they didn't.
In any case sleeping with Polanski is barf inducing given his history.
