Hollywood Remembers the Rare Talent of Val Kilmer
Briefly

Val Kilmer, known for his roles in films like The Doors and Batman Forever, has passed away from pneumonia. His death comes just before a scheduled appearance at the Beverly Hills Film Festival. Kilmer's health had declined since his 2015 throat cancer diagnosis, but he continued to impact cinema, including a documentary about his life and a cameo in Top Gun: Maverick. Following the news, colleagues and fans shared heartfelt tributes, reminiscing about his talent and unique presence, particularly highlighting memorable moments from his performances.
I always liked Val and am sad to hear of his passing. I thought he was a genius actor. I enjoyed working with him on Bad Lieutenant and I admired his commitment and sense of humor. He should have won the Oscar for The Doors.
All of a sudden, a sixties convertible came screeching up, blaring Doors Music at top volume. And a guy jumped out and strode inside: He had wild hair and he was barefoot, shirtless, and wearing nothing but a pair of tight leather pants. We were more than a little shook by the sheer audacity of his entrance.
