Val Kilmer lost his battle in Los Angeles recently. At the time of his death, he was 59 years old. Medical teams confirmed the cause as cancer. Kilmer began his screen work in 1991 with small early parts. His first major role came quickly when he starred as Jim Morrison in The Doors. Four years later, he made a lasting mark as Doc Holliday in Tombstone. Back in 1989, he lent his voice to Batman in a cartoon. His final film paired him with Al Pacino in Heat. Even now, audiences keep rediscovering his work through TV reruns.
