Val Kilmer, the versatile actor best known for playing "Iceman" in Top Gun and Batman in Batman Forever, died, his daughter confirmed to the New York Times on Tuesday. He was 65.

The actor, who was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 and later recovered, died from pneumonia. While his health struggles were long and difficult, his legacy in Hollywood remains undeniable.

Known for his intense immersion in his characters, Kilmer never shied away from a challenge. In 1981, he became the youngest student admitted to Juilliard, at 17 years old, the Associated Press reported. Five years later, his performance as the cocky, cool "Iceman" in 1986’s Top Gun catapulted him to stardom, establishing him as a leading man in Hollywood.

Kilmer went on to play Jim Morrison in The Doors (1991), Doc Holliday in the classic Western Tombstone (1993) and Batman in Batman Forever (1995). His wide range was evident in films like Heat (1995) and True Romance (1993), where he transitioned from a leading man to a high-profile supporting player.

Kilmer’s personal life was equally colorful. He married actress Joanne Whalley, whom he met on the set of 1988’s Willow. The couple had two children, Mercedes and Jack, before divorcing in 1996. Kilmer shared his personal journey with fans through the documentary Val (2021), produced by his two children, which gave an intimate look at his life, career and health struggles.
