« Batman Forever » actor Val Kilmer dead at 65.
Val Kilmer, the star of ’80s and ’90s blockbusters including « Top Gun », « Batman Forever » and « Tombstone », has died, according to The Associated Press. He was 65.
The actor’s daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed the death, saying he died Tuesday in Los Angeles, the AP reported.
Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015 and underwent a tracheotomy, which made talking difficult for the actor.
« It’s just like any other language or dialect », Kilmer told « Good Morning America » in August 2020 about his difficulties communicating after his tracheotomy. « You have to figure out a way to communicate that’s no different than any other acting challenge, but it’s just a very unique set of circumstances.
