Obituary: Prominent actor Val Kilmer, 65, died from pneumonia, it was reported. Eleven years ago, he survived a bout with throat cancer.
He was especially popular in the 1980s and 1990s.
Snip:
Kilmer was born in Los Angeles, California in 1959 to parents Eugene and Gladys, though they later divorced. Tragedy struck the Kilmer family in 1977 when Kilmer’s younger brother Wesley drowned at the young age of 15.
“He was a genius,” Kilmer told The New York Times in 2002. Kilmer praised his brother as an aspiring filmmaker, calling him so talented that he could have been another Steven Spielberg or George Lucas.
Shortly after his brother’s death, Kilmer became the youngest person at the time to be accepted into the famed Juilliard School’s Drama Group. This became the start of his acting career.
