Val Kilmer
Dead at 65
Val Kilmer, star of “Top Gun,” “The Doors” and several other classic films, died Tuesday in Los Angeles, according to his family.
Val famously played the lead role of rock star Jim Morrison in the film about The Doors, and also starred as Bruce Wayne in “Batman Forever.”
One of his most beloved roles was at Iceman in “Top Gun” … a character he managed to reprise in the 2022 sequel, “Top Gun: Maverick” despite his health challenges at the time.
The cancer eventually went into remission — his daughter told NYT he’d fully recovered — and Val, a devout Christian Scientist, attributed that directly to his faith. He had reportedly rejected many forms of modern Western medicine.
