Val Kilmer, hard-working actor whose films included The Doors, Top Gun, Heat and Batman Forever
Val Kilmer, who has died of pneumonia aged 65, was enthusiastically acclaimed for his portrayal of the cult rock star Jim Morrison in The Doors and for blockbuster films including Top Gun and Batman Forever; although at the height of his career he earned a reputation as something of a Hollywood bad boy, latterly he won warm affection from the public after undergoing gruelling treatment for throat cancer.
