Val Kilmer died last week due to pneumonia following a long fight with cancer that robbed him of his voice. Renowned for his complex persona and tumultuous behavior, Kilmer's life and career are encapsulated in the documentary "Val." His work, particularly under Oliver Stone's direction in films like "The Doors" and "Alexander," showcased both raw talent and eccentric challenges. Stone acknowledges Kilmer's brilliant yet difficult nature, illustrating the fine line between genius and volatility in the acting profession, and how such traits impacted both performances and personal interactions.
"Val was pretty out there. His personality was not easy to get along with, which often comes with self-involvement seen in eccentric creative individuals in Hollywood."
"Kilmer's performances in 'The Doors' and 'Alexander' are raw, emotional, and audacious; while some viewers find them excessive, others view them as brilliantly aligned with the films."
