Heat, TopGun, TopGun II and Tombstone. My favorite Val Kilmer movies. He's not the leading star in any of them. But all of them would not be the great movies they are without him and Tombstone would be a largely forgotten modern western without his interpretation of Doc Holiday.
In recent years he suffered from cancer, and his small role in TopGun Maverick is compelling even without his voice.
Now he is gone at 65. Here he is in his prime.
Goddammit. BP, I am getting sick and tired of this horse radish. We are losing too many, too fast.
ReplyDeleteAnd JFC - throat cancer? Nobody deserves that...
I want you put a stop to this immediately... it's demoralizing to us young, handsome spring chickens...
Requiescat in pace
ReplyDeleteI never knew he went to Julliard - he was great in every movie I saw him in . He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace Mr. Kilmer.
ReplyDeleteA fine actor, he will be missed.
ReplyDeleteHe was quite good in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang too. Think I'll watch Tombstone again tonight.
ReplyDeleteAh, damn.
ReplyDeleteAnd you left out Real Genius and Top Secret!

And his Doc Holiday will stand as untouchable for 100 years.
