Legendary
actor Val Kilmer shares the stories behind his most beloved roles, reminisces
about his star-studded career and love life, and reveals the truth behind his
recent health struggles in a remarkably candid autobiography.
Val Kilmer has played many
iconic roles over his nearly four-decade film career. A table-dancing Cold War
agent in Top Secret! A troublemaking science prodigy in Real Genius. A brash
fighter pilot in Top Gun. A swashbuckling knight in Willow. A lovelorn bank
robber in Heat. A charming master of disguise in The Saint. A wise-cracking
detective in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Of course, Batman, Jim Morrison and the
sharp-shooting Doc Holliday.
But who is the real Val Kilmer?
With I’m Your Huckleberry—published ahead of next summer’s highly anticipated
sequel Top Gun: Maverick, in which Kilmer returns to the big screen as Tom
“Iceman” Kazansky—the enigmatic actor at last steps out of character and
reveals his true self.
In this uniquely assembled
memoir—featuring vivid prose, snippets of poetry and rarely-seen photos—Kilmer
reflects on his acclaimed career, including becoming the youngest actor ever
admitted to the Juilliard School’s famed drama department, determinedly
campaigning to win the lead part in The Doors, and realizing a years-long dream
of performing a one-man show as his hero Mark Twain. He shares candid stories
of working with screen legends Marlon Brando, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr. and
Robert De Niro, and recounts high-profile romances with Cher, Cindy Crawford,
Daryl Hannah, and former wife Joanne Whalley. He chronicles his spiritual
journey and lifelong belief in Christian Science, and describes travels to
far-flung locales such as a scarcely inhabited island in the Indian Ocean where
he suffered from delirium and was cared for by the resident tribe. And he
reveals details of his recent throat cancer diagnosis and recovery—about which
he has disclosed little until now.
While containing plenty of tantalizing
celebrity anecdotes, I’m Your Huckleberry—taken from the famous line Kilmer
delivers as Holliday in Tombstone—is ultimately a singularly written and deeply
moving reflection on mortality and the mysteries of life.
