Val Kilmer
Remembering a Hollywood Legend

Published April 1, 2025 9:30 PM PDT

Val Kilmer, the charismatic star of iconic films such as “Top Gun” and “The Doors,” passed away on Tuesday in Los Angeles, as confirmed by his family.

Val’s daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, revealed to the New York Times that her father succumbed to pneumonia. Val had battled a throat tumor since 2014 and underwent emergency treatment for severe bleeding in 2015 at UCLA Medical Center. The tumor stemmed from oral cancer.

Val will always be remembered for his portrayal of rock legend Jim Morrison in “The Doors” and his role as Bruce Wayne in “Batman Forever.”

One of his most iconic roles was as Iceman in “Top Gun,” a character he reprised in the 2022 sequel, “Top Gun: Maverick,” despite his health struggles at the time.

To bring his character back to life, filmmakers utilized artificial intelligence to recreate Val’s voice, which had been affected by his battle with throat cancer.

Val’s cancer eventually went into remission, with his daughter confirming to NYT that he had fully recovered. Val, a devoted Christian Scientist, attributed his recovery to his unwavering faith, having declined conventional medical treatments.

In a 2017 interview with The Christian Post, Val expressed his belief in the power of prayer for healing, stating, “Many, many people have been healed by prayer throughout recorded history. And many, many people have died by whatever was modern medicine.”

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Val earned acclaim for his memorable supporting roles in films like “Heat,” “True Romance,” and “Tombstone,” where he portrayed the legendary Doc Holliday. His portrayal of Doc Holliday’s famous line, “I’m your huckleberry,” remains etched in cinematic history.

Val’s acting journey began at the prestigious Juilliard School at the age of 17, leading to a successful theater career before his breakthrough in the 1985 comedy “Real Genius.”

Val is survived by his two adult children, Mercedes and Jack, whom he shared with his ex-wife, actress Joanne Whalley.

He will be forever remembered. Val Kilmer was 65.

RIP
