A homegrown Hollywood actor, Val Kilmer, is dead, his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer confirmed on Tuesday night.
The actor died on Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 65 after a prolonged battle with pneumonia, according to The New York Time.
Kilmer, who came into the entertainment scene with “Top Gun,” was also recognized for portraying Jim Morrison in “The Doors,” Doc Holliday in “Tombstone,” and Batman in Batman Forever.
Kilmer also played large roles in Heat, 1995, The Saint, 1997, Willow, 1988, and more recently, Top Gun, Maverick.
He was one of the biggest Hollywood actors in the 1990s before spats with directors and co-stars and a series of flops dented his career.
Over the years, Kilmer gained a reputation as temperamental, intense, perfectionistic and sometimes egotistical.
According to Mr Kilmer’s daughter, the actor was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 but he later recovered.
